My mother aged 61, has Tripple Vessel CAD with two blockage 100%. Doctors advised Medical management over bypass and Angioplasty as She is Diabetic, Hypertension as well as her arteries are vary narrow. What should we do, as even on hugh medicine, she contineously has breathless ness entire day.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. She is a ideal candidate for bypass surgery. Triple vessels' disease with hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol are an absolute indication for Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). She is symptomatic (breathlessness) despite medicines. This also favors surgical management more. So better not wait and get done CABG. Consult cardiothoracic surgeon 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.
