Is There Any Non Surgical Method For Artery Blockage?
Hi,
Recently my father had gone through engiography and it was discovered that his main artery had 80 - 90% of blockage. The doctor advised us to place two stunts in his artery as the blockage length was quite large. My question is that is it possible to remove the blockage through medicines alone.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to HCM
The only approach approved – is either angioplasty and stent OR bypass surgery
A block of 70% or more needs intervention - earlier, the better
All others are unproved, untested and empirical…
