Advice for cardio bypass surgery for 67 years old man
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Cardiac bypass is advised if there are multiple coronary arteries which have significant blockage, or if there is a critical blockage in an area that is not fixable with balloon inflation or stents. 67 is not an unreasonable age at which bypass may be performed. I highly recommend discussing this with your cardiologist as it is not a simple matter that can be adequately addressed on a forum.
