IHD can be occur either occlusion of 1/2/3 arteries ..in ur mother it is due to 3 arteries n to correct these lesion we need to do angioplasty/CABG which depends upon the lesion site n severity of disease for example if vessel h more calcium scoring or unfavourable anatomy then need to do CABG Bcs it give better results then angioplasty .. ur concering cardiologist had done ur angiography n he might notice that it's better to do CABG then angioplasty Bcs it is more life saving in ur mothers case , so I advised u to go for CABG to avoid futhur complication of stents get etc ..
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
