All three arteries are blocked at 90, 80, and 80. We're trying to avoid bypass surgery would stenting work in this case? If successful, how long can we expect the stents to last before needing another procedure?

For triple-vessel disease with high blockage, bypass is more durable than stents. Stents may offer short-term relief but restenosis is a risk. A cardiac surgeon should evaluate case specifics.
