My father is 53 yrs old. He had been diagnosed with Coronary artery disease ,TMT positive,Diabetes Mellitus CT Coronary Angiogram showed High calcium score,Single Branch Vessel disease.His heart was said to be very healthy so far. A 100% blockage and 80% blockage of the arteries had been detected and collateral ways have been formed.He has not faced any symptoms of Angina so far.At the long run , anything can happen which is very sure.Could you please suggest what should be done - Bypass or Angioplasty and is it an emergency which needs to be right away?

blockage more then 75% has to be opened according to American and European recomendations.

My Uncle has suffered a severe heart attack on Sunday. He is 69 years of age. He was admitted to Nanavati Hospital at 9.30 pm. Angiography was performed at 11.30 pm and there were three blocks detected in the arteries. The % of blocks were 100%, 90% and 70% respectively. Angioplasty was performed on the artery which had 100% block. The angioplasty was successfully. We would like to seek your opinion on the remaining further treatment. We would like to seek your appointment. Kindly give your appointment.

More then 75% stenosis (block) is indication for angioplasty according to American and European reccomendations. So I would reccomend you to do immediate angioplasty of the vessel which has 90% block. As for 70% block, he needs carefull monitoring of his heart, that means to take all prescribed medications on time (because medications decrease the risk of complications and improve patient's health), to visit cardiologist periodically, but if he has some cardiologic symptoms such as chest pain, s ...
