Hi,
Your father has coronary artery disease with significant stenosis.
Usually there are 2 options in cases like this;1. PCI-coronary stenting and 2.CABG- open heart surgery
In your father's case he may need more than 3 stents, also considering the fact that he has diffuse narrowed artery, CABG may be better option.
Wishing good health to your father
