A member asked:
Two main arteries having 95 and 75% blockages would need an angioplasty, correct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope....CABG: Angioplasty is very risky to do on multi-vessel cad, and therefore it is not done. You will likely need a bypass surgery. See your doctor and/or cardiovascular surgeon. Good luck.
