PERCENTAGE OF BLOCKAGE IS A SUBJECTIVE OPINION. UNLESS ONE SEES THE ANGIOGRAM , TYPES OF LESION AND IT'S RX OPTIONS CAN'T BE SURELY EXPLAINED.

Whether angioplasty is required depends on a lot of factors. Of course the percentage of narrowing is an important factor. In case your cardiologist has suggested angioplasty it will most likely be necessary. But in case you want to be doubly sure, it will be worth considering a second opinion from another cardiologist.

90% is definitely a tight blockage. But opinion can only be made after seeing the angiogram and the reason why she underwent angiography in first place.
