failure of triple bypass a year later what to do?

my grandmother underwent triple bypass surgerey a year ago and started complaining of the same symptoms again, they did an ecko and stress test that were inconclusive so they did an angiogram which they found all three bypass had failed i know they are located in the left main and there were also two more blockages around the same area. when the docter consulted with us he said he did not know what to do they sent her home and are trying to get her into christ hospital in cincinnatti to see what treatments they can do does anyone have any advice of new treatments or what we should do, and also the cardiologist said that he thinks it has been like this for awhile. any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello, Its very unfortunate that she had all 3 to close. I can tell you that The Christ Hospital in cincy is excellent! We live in Louisville KY and our cardio sent my hubby there and Dr. K was wonderful and very skilled. If there is a proceedure or a option he will know it. There are some things they can do such as stenting or laser treatment to promote vessel growth. I hope this helps
