Hello dear, and thanks for posting your query here. As you said, your father has two 90% lesions in the left coronary artery for which he has been advised CABG, but you have not mentioned the condition of the other heart vessels and also about the LVEF which is a measure of the heart function. And as you said you don't want your father undergo surgery, then you must take a second opinion to find if there is any possibility of doing an angioplasty! Particularly if your fathers other vessels are normal and also has good heart function.Meanwhile, continue the medicines prescribed to him. I hope this information would be of help to you. Thanks and all the best.
