What Is The Life Expectancy For Advanced Coronary Heart Disease?

My husband has 35+ stents, has advanced coronary heart disease. A few days ago he had severe pain, went to the ER and his doctor did a cath. It seems his right coronary has taken a dump, and now a collateral artery has taken over the work. How long can someone in this situation live, productively.

With the breaf historu, I could make out taht he is 35 yrs of age and has under gone angioplasty with stent. also that he had chest pain recently and repeat coronary angiogram is done. It would be better for me to give proper advice only after seeing his reports.
I could oly tell that once a Coronary Angioplasty is done with good job, the person can live quite long - if he is following good Life style, and taking all prescribed medications on time - there is no reduction in life expectation after angioplasty - yea to support this statement I would like to know his Heart condition (Heart Function - EF)
