Brief Answer:
Baloon Angioplasty with placement of stents should resolve your problem
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I understand that you already have undergone an open heart surgery possibly with stenting. I also understand that eventually two major blocks have developed, possibly at locations different from the previous ones. At this stage, stenting is essential while a surgery has its own risks. However, an angioplasty can be done and the stents can be placed through a simple prick on your groin or neck wherein a catheter is inserted and is controlled remotely under radiographic guidance.
