Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Angiography (Catheterization ) is made to check the coronary arteries permeability and wideness. A stent is used to widen a narrowed artery, but in some patients, we may need many stents to widen many arteries. Hence a doctor may tell you a bypass graft is preferred to be done because it carries out much better results. Also, the ejection fraction of the heart is a major indicator for detecting the next step. So, please harry to perform the surgery and don't panic with a good health to your father
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
