Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Bypass surgery and angioplasty are the best options. It may be possible because of your age and health issues you have. You can start on thrombolytics like Aspirin or Clopidogrel as advised by your cardiologist. It will help dissolve the clots and prevent further clot formation.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
