It Depends: It depends on the severity of the artery disease. Short isolated lesions can be treated with endovascular techniques. Much more severe levels of disease in multiple arteries do better with surgery.

I would add that the starting point before any of the above interventions should be diet, exercise, aspirin, QUIT SMOKING (if you smoke), control cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes.
