Brief Answer:
Stenting is preferable

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I guess you are not diabetic, because life of stents is relatively short in diabetics.
So, since it can be treated with stents and stenting is low risk procedure than bypass, stenting should be the preferred option. Elders carries more risk with bypass than stenting.
So in my opinion, stenting should be preferred rather than bypass.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
