hello,
Best treatment for blockages is either angioplasty or bypass surgery depending upon no vessels having blockages, if patient is having blockages more than 70-80%. I need to know about which procedure he is undergoing. Bypass is big surgery needs admission for 1-2 week and angioplasty is minor procedure for which is admitted for 1-2 days only. you get back with some more information.
