Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. HD can be occurred either occlusion of 1/2/3 arteries .in your mother it is due to 3 arteries n to correct these lesion we need to do angioplasty/CABG which depends upon the lesion site n severity of disease for example if vessel h more calcium scoring or unfavorable anatomy then need to do CABG BCS it gives better results then angioplasty . Ur concerning cardiologist had done your angiography n he might notice that it's better to do CABG then angioplasty BCS it is more life-saving in your mothers case, so I advised u to go for CABG to avoid father complication of stents get etc . I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Regards.
