Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
You have significant blockages in your heart involving all three arteries of the heart. Hence your doctor has adviced you bypass surgery. Angioplasty is another option that can be offered to heart blockages. Bur since he has multiple blockages angioplasty cannot be done in your case.
So please go ahead with CABG. I know that you are tense about going for an open heart surgery, but its prognosis is very good. The grafts work well for 15-20 years. It requires about 7 days stay in the hospital and then about 15 days to be completely back to nomral activities.
Wishing you good health
Regards
