NO scientifically proved option

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The only treatment is Intervention – angioplasty or operation. In diabetics, surgery is better option. If he does not want surgery and if it is technically feasible (location, extent etc.), angioplasty (dilatation and stent) may be tried… it is often likened to a bomb waiting to go off – the risk of heart attack is ever present….
He must take medicines now and all his life
There is NO other scientifically approved /proved treatment.

Good luck
God bless you
