Hi,

The survival rate after surgical treatment of heart blockage varies with a number of factors like age, co-existing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cardiac diseases.

Since the blockage is ninety percent,without treatment 100 percent mortality can be expected. Hence with surgery, the survival rate is much higher than without surgery. Hence I would suggest immediate surgery and control of blood pressure and blood sugar post surgery.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
