Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In this scenario, bypass is best option as he is having 100 percent blockage and also multiple blockages on other side which can be dealt simultaneously.

However, if not at all willing for it then rota ablation may be tried. But, chance of failure are more in this situation. Other option is to get vessels on left sided vessel stented and right side on medicines, if not willing for bypass and stenting is no possible.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
