Hi and thanks for asking in HCM. 100% blockage is dangerous and if collaterals not developed then it is still more dangerous. It does not matter if previous bypass hs been done or not, if 100% block is there, your doctor may suggest her angioplasty after complete evaluation. i advice you to consult a cardiologist and decide for further course of action. In the mean time tell her continue all her regular medications with out fail. Regards
