Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

     Surgery is advised when ‘medical’ treatment is not enough / when intervention (angioplasty) cannot be done (for example complicated anatomy of the lesion) / situations, wheren it is better than angioplasty...
     Surgery is better than medicine or the only option in some situations – example, complete obstruction of left main disease – in such situations, there is no alternative.
     Surgery is only an incidence in the course of management of the – medicines before and after are a must.
     Surgery and medicine achieve relief of symptoms and retard further progression of the disease. Many of the original factors causing the condition cannot be modified – like age, heredity and so on. Some can be modified – stopping smoking, low fat diet, exercise and so on.

The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
