Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Open surgery is very risky at this age and health conditions. You can go for minimally invasive surgeries which has got lesser risk. Consult an intervention cardiologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
