A member asked:
Have unstable angina angiogram showed 100% blocked right coro artery, 20% left - dr said only adjust meds, no procedure, no surg - now what ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trust your doc: The 100% blocked right artery can only be bypassed, but you may already be doing that by developing collateral blood flow. The 20% narrowing is not enough to warrant stenting or other measures, just meds to lower your cholesterol and control your bp.
