Angioplasty vs. Bypass: Which heart procedure is best for your blockages, age, and overall health
Coronary artery disease, a major global health concern, is effectively managed through angioplasty or bypass surgery. Angioplasty offers a minimally invasive option for single blockages with rapid recovery. Conversely, bypass surgery provides more durable outcomes for complex or multiple blockages, often preferred for diabetic patients. The optimal treatment choice depends on blockage severity, patient health, and age, demanding informed decision-making.
