hello,I have gone through your question.I can understand your concern.As per your history your dad had bypass 5 yrs back and now he had heart attack.That means he has developed new blocks in arteries at site other than bypassed arteries.you have been rightly advised for revasuclarisation.In view of one major surgery, angioplasty with stent is safer and easy way to treat his blocks in arteries.I suggestyou to accept that opinion and proceed for angioplasty with stent.
My best wishes.
