Hi angioplasty is much safer procedure as compared to coronary by pass surgery.Angioplasty involves the use of stents to open clot ,while by pass involve the opening of complete sternum.More then 75% blockages should not be managed medically and should be traeted with intervention.

As your father has double vessel disaease drug eluting stents will be best for him.
Its better to go to mumbai,Breach candy hospital has a excellent cardiology unit.
