Hello,
First of all, there is a need of getting an Angiography done so as to evaluate that all the stents are patent or not. If they are patent then things can be evaluated on a regular basis and if they are getting occluded then treatment will be on urgent basis.
The bypass will be required or not that can be decided only after Angiography results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
