A member asked:
The doctor suggests coronary artery bypass grafting after my angiography. any other options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Second opinion?: Some lesions are not ameniable to angioplasty or stents. Some combinations of lesions are best treated surgically. Without details all that can be said is that the doctor that performed the angiography likely felt other treatments would be unwise. If you have concerns, why not ask for a second opinion?
