Medicine: You will do as well taking medications including aspirin, beta blocker, statin and ace inhibitor together with regular exercise and good diet as having a procedure done unless you have continuing symptoms not adequately controlled by medical treatment.

It depends: CABG gives good revascularization with durable, dependable results for most. The risks are dependent on other factors heart and lung and kidney function. If you are stable, work with your doctors to be in the best shape before procedures. The specific coronary anatomy, distal target sites help us guide the choices.
