Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that if you have 100% chronic occlusion and can not be stented and you are not fit for open surgery then the only option you are left with is medication.
Kindly take all your heart medication including blood thinners, anti-platelets and statins with lifestyle modification.

Hope I have answered your query.
