He chews tobacco and occasionally smokes, plus he has diabetes and slightly high blood pressure.

For a 66-year-old with triple vessel coronary artery disease, 90% stenosis in the right coronary artery, and 70-80% blockages in the LCX and LAD, plus risk factors like tobacco use, diabetes, and high blood pressure, bypass surgery (CABG) is likely the better option compared to angioplasty with stenting

My husband's triglyceride level is pretty high at 515, so I'm a bit worried about what he can eat. I'm wondering if mangoes are okay for him. He's taking Stator F every night after dinner. Does that affect what fruits or foods he should avoid?
High triglycerides are a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and managing diet is crucial in controlling these levels. While mangoes are nutritious, they are also high in natural sugars, which could potentially raise triglyceride levels if consumed in large quantities. Your husband can still enjoy mangoes, but it is important to do so in moderation and as part of a balanced diet that is low in refined sugars and unhealthy fats. Since he is taking Stator-F (a combination of statin and fenofibrate) to manage his triglycerides, it is essential to follow dietary recommendations from his healthcare provider. If you're unsure about how much mango is appropriate, it would be best to consult with his doctor or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized advice.
