Hello ,
As you said that the angiography was done after she suffered from an attack , Now we have an attack when the artery closes 100 % , so in your mother's case naturally the some clot gets dissolved and the remaining 80 % lesion stays , so in that way god has been kind .
Now generally more than 70 % blockage either angioplasty or bypass surgery is the preffered option , However if she regularly takes all the medicines prescribed and keeps a check on her lifestyle and food with regular check up with your doctor , I think we can safely manage her conservatively with medicine. Also many studies have proven medical management equivalent to surgery .
So don't worry and continue a holistic lifestyle with proper medicine .
