It all depends on what your heart function is. If it's normal, then you should really consider having redo surgery at a specialist heart center, or even consider a high risk percutaneous coronary artery intervention, also by an experienced operator. On the other hand, if heart function is low, and there is lots of myocardial scar, then the only option that you would have at that point would be to consider cardiac transplantation. There really isn't anything experimental that I am aware of that works on removing arterial plaque.
