Question

My aunt had a heart attack last month and the doctor recommended bypass surgery. I've attached her angiography report could you advise whether bypass or angioplasty would be the better option for her?

Bypass surgery may be considered as the better option for surgery in some cases where the arteries of the heart may be clogged in multiple areas or when the blockage is in the main coronary artery in the left portion of the heart.
