What Causes Multiple Blocked Arteries In Heart?

Hi - It seems to be taking multiple angiograms to discover additional blockages on my mother. I was under the impression all percent of blockage could be identified at one time. After one artery has been adressed with a stent, we find out another is 80% blocked and then a 2nd stent is needed. After the 2nd one is done we now find there is another artery with 80% blockage. This just seems strange to me. Can you advise?
My mother is 81.
