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

It would need to review your grandmas angiography report or the CD to comment with full confidence about the treatment modality to be used. But if its a triple vessel blockage Open heart surgery (CABG) is preferred to angioplasty. Age is certainly a factor but the cardiologist must have seen and reviewed her to deem her fit for open heart.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
