What are the treatment options for coronary artery blockage?

It depends: It depends on the degree of blockage and the symptoms. If the blockage of the coronary artery is >70% and the ischemia is reversible and the patient is symptomatic, revascularization (angioplasty/stent or surgery) is usually recommended, however there are patients have contraindications for intervention and they might be treated only by medications. Treatment is highly individualized.

Dr Stern and another doctor agreed

Diet,Meds, stents: Proper diet and tolerable exercise, medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel and statins, and finally if all else fails, and the person is symptomatic, stents or bypass surgery. I would not undergo stenting unless i had symptoms of chest pain or exertional shortness of breath. Far too many stents are being deployed without the right indications these days.

Dr Koch agreed
