Suggest Treatment For Collapsed Bypass Surgery Of Heart

I had open heart surgery 4 years ago and after 2 1/2 years of trouble found out the bypass had collapsed. My doctor has been trying to fix the place that was suppossed to be by-passed but it isn t working--it won t stay open and keeps filling with scsar tissue. The place is quite long and took 3 stents to try to open it. I am 90 now but in excellent health except for my heart. Is there any hope for me?

Sir it is highly likely that it'll close again. The option again would be to reopen it. Considering your age other procedures may not be helpful/advised. It is good to know that you are in good health despite the condition.
