Hi Welcome to HCM
Your father in law could be suffering from some stricture in the gastro intestinal tract.It could not be a sde effect of angioplasty.It could be related to some peptic ulcer or it can be even age related.Barium swallow and CECT abdomen will be helpful in his case.Drugs like pantoprazole,Domperidone,Baclofen can be helpful.Continue his old medication regularly.Surgical treatment like stricturoplasty can be done if ay abnormality detected.Consult your gastro enterologist for expert management.
Thankyou
