There is always a confusion in the mind of the patient and the family members whenever a diagnosis of blockage is heart artery is made by the cardiologist after CT angiography or a Cath Angiography. The confusion that remains is whether to go for an Angioplasty i.e. opening the blockage in artery through stents or to go for an open heart surgery called CABG or Bypass surgery as commonly known. Angioplasty has definite advantages over an open heart surgery with respect to recovery, cost, complications, hospitals stay etc. However, in case of multiple blockages or even a triple vessel disease i.e. all three arteries are blocked the standard is to opt for a heart bypass surgery. But age of patient is of paramount importance in this case as well. CABG or a heart bypass surgery can be risky for elderly people or people with co-morbidities. In that case an angioplasty would be a better option. However, at the end of the day it is the cardiologist who sees the report and gives you a fair opinion about what procedure to go.
