A cath angiogram revealed 80-90% blockage on my left anterior artey (LAD). I am a 52 years old man , No  diabetic, No Hi-blood pressure. No any pain on my chest. I am active, go to the gym and in full time job. Stenting or Bi-pass, What is best treatment for my 80-90% LAD Blockage ?

I'm a bit confused. If the blockage was causing any problems, then you wouldn't be able to workout with no discomfort. Perhaps you have developed very good collateral feeds and don't require any intervention. There is a possibility that opening the blockage could make you feel much worse. Opening a blockage can cause the collaterals to close up and if the stent blocks, then there is no guarantee the collaterals will re-open to the extent they have. I would ask your cardiologist a lot more questions before agreeing to having any intervention.

I don't think anyone here is really qualified to answer this for you. A stent may or may not be a possibility depending on where the blockages are in your LAD. Also, it depends on how symptomatic you are. What has your doctor suggested?

I would prefer a stent if it were possible but you need to understand it may or may not take care of the problem long term. I don't know that I would jump at bypass for single artery disease, but again that depends on how effective my cardiologist believes a stent would be.

You really need to discuss this with your doctor as they have much more information than we do about you.
