Brief Answer:
Treatment depends on the symptoms caused by the blockage...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

The complications of the block are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, blood in stools and progression to complete block and gangrene of bowel.

If your father have above symptoms then angioplasty and stenting is useful to relieve the symptoms and also need to control cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels. He needs angioplasty if he has symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Brief Answer:
yes may be controlled

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Yes this state may be controlled by controlling body cholesterol by statin drugs and sugar and quitting smoking and anti coagulant/thrombolytic drugs.


If he doesn't have any symptoms then there is no need now to go for angioplasty and stenting because his blood flow is not compromised . If he develops symptoms in future then the procedure may be planned. You may discuss with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
