Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Unfortunately, with a history of numerous blockages in these blood vessels, the prognosis is not good but this can best be discussed with his doctor who would be constantly monitoring him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
