Brief Answer: Institution is better than an Individual Detailed Answer: Hi friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic Is it block of 3 arteries? It is not common to have block of 3 valves – I wonder it is typing mistake… Your father probably needs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CABG) XXXXXXX Hrudayalaya is an excellent and famous multi-speciality tertiary care hospital in Bangalore You can take him directly / Or discuss with your GP; get a reference… Good luck Take care Wishing all well God bless
