Brief Answer:
There are only two options
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
I understand your concern and I want to tell you that there are only two options for the treatment of coronary artery disease if it is symptomatic or critical.
1. Angioplasty
2. CABG also known as bypass surgery
If your cardiologist has advised you to undergo angioplasty and you are not satisfied with his decision then you can go for second opinion by showing your reports to some other cardiologist.
Hope this information will answer your query. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.
Kind Regards
