Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
After going through all the details you have provided, your father is having urinary obstruction due to Prostate enlargement.
During preoperative screening there must be some abnormality in the ECG hence angiogram was ordered and now he has been detected to have 90% obstruction in the one of the valve.
I presume there is obstruction in one of the coronary artery which supply blood to the heart. Because if valve defect is there this can easily be diagnosed with 2 D Echocardiography.
If his coronary blood circulation is compromised then it is logical to go for angioplasty and correct the coronary obstruction first and then go for prostate surgery.
In the meantime there is good medical treatment for prostate obstruction and if required urine can be drained with catheter, the duration of 2 years ? once angioplasty is done successfully his prostate surgery can be performed.
Hope this information helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
