Your father has three  blockages in his coronary arteries of which at least 2 need treatment.

One blockage is at the origin of the Left anterior Descending artery (proximal LAD). 99% blockage is critical and needs treatment urgently.

One blockage is at the origin of the left circumflex coronary artery (proximal LCX). 85 % is perhaps not critical but will need treatment too.

Depending on the exact situation, your father will need CABG (bypass surgery) or angioplasty (stents) to open up his arteries.
