I presume the bypass was done to the Left artery before? and now the right artery is blocked?
It would be risky to perform bypass surgery, but why he has quoted 100% is beyond me.
I know people who have had 4 attempts at bypass surgery to get it working correctly. There must be another reason why bypassing the blockage is so risky, such as the location of the blockage. Have you quesitoned the cardiologist about PCI and Stenting?
The right artery is usually more straightforward then the left for PCI.
