They did an angioplasty on the 28th, he had a 90% blockage in his main vessel and they put in a stent. He was discharged on the 1st, but the next day he was back in the hospital because water filled up near his lungs and heart, and he couldnt breathe. He was in CCU for about seven days and finally got out on the 13th of December. Recently, his BNP levels were 956, potassium 2.4, and serum creatinine 1.84, so the doctor switched his medication around. Now he's on concor 1.25 mg, prax 10 mg, eptus 50 mg, ivabrad 5 mg, ecosprin 75 mg, aztor 10 mg, potklor, and febutaz 40 mg since his uric acid was high. But since yesterday, he's having trouble breathing and can't sleep at night. What should we do?

I'm really concerned about a blockage in all three arteries. I'm worried but also wondering how much time we might have to safely delay surgery. Can you provide some guidance on this?
The patient should not delay surgery if there is blockage in all three arteries at such high percentages. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent any serious complications such as heart attack or stroke. Please consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment.
