Earlier two heart blockages were found and now two more have been detected. I'm really confused would angioplasty be better or should I consider bypass surgery this time?

With four confirmed heart blockages, a discussion with your cardiologist about both angioplasty and bypass surgery is crucial. Bypass surgery is often favored when multiple blockages are present, especially if the left main coronary artery is involved. Angioplasty might be an option for less extensive blockages or if bypass surgery isn't feasible
