Suggest Nonsurgical Approaches For Blocked Coronary Arteries
My mom just had an angiogram and they found 90 to 95% blockage in all three of her arteries. She is 69 and has Diabetes and other health conditions. Her kidneys are on the weak side. Doctors are recommending surgery over the balloon/stent procedure which would involve coming in multiple times and doing one at a time. I want to know if there are any nonsurgical approaches to 3 blocked arteries (90 to 95%)?

Hello
After going through the details provided by you i would like to tell you that there is no other option and surgery is a better option for your mother as compared to stenting in long term prognosis.
Surgery will be done in one sitting i think you have understood something wrong. Kindly clarify this with your doctor once again as CABG is a one sitting procedure and all three grafts will be done on same time.
Regards
