Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!

There are three option to treat an ocluded right coronary:
1. Coronary angiography and stenting (PTCA).
2. CABG (bypass surgery)
3. Medical treatment.

If you were my patient I would recommend to try coronary stenting and if this wasn't possible than to continue with medical therapy.

Bypass is very traumatic for the patient and with a occluded right coronary arteries the profits are minimal.

Wish you health!
