Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Her symptoms and stress test are suggestive of coronary artery disease (CAD). She is also diabetic. So get done coronary angiography. There is always possibility of restenosis. If Angiography is showing blockage then bypass surgery is the treatment of choice for her. Strict control of diabetes is needed. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
