Is bypass surgery necessary? Any other test required before opting for it

[nidjain]

My mother is 54years old.Her angiography reports is as follows:
LMCA : shows 40% stenosis distally.
LAD : Shows 80% discrete stenosis at its ostium, followed by 75% tubular stenosis in the proximal segment. Rest of the LAD is free of disease.
LCx: Shows plaque at its ostium and 60% long segment stenosis in the mid LCx OM1 is a large vessel with 70% stenosis in the mid segment.
RCA: Is a dominant artery and shows 50% stenosis distally and extending into the PD.PD branch shows 80% ostial stenosis.
LIMA/RIMA : Normal
LV Angio : Not done
Conclusion : Triple Vessel Disease.
ADVICE : CABG

How urgently we need to go for bypass surgery? What if we don't opt for surgery?

If your mother has symptoms i.e. chest pain and there is  relief with medicaion, then medication should be the option of choice according to ACC/AHA guidelines. Lesions less than 70% usually don't require any treatment.

The next option would be stent implants.  If stents  cannot be considered because of location, size, or an emergency, then a bypass.

I have a totally blocked LAD and 72% Lcx blockage, and I have been on a regimen of medication, diet, exercise, etc. without any problems.
