Hello, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
With such type of presentation in my practice, I usually advise doing a procedure called CABG (Coronary artery bypass grafting) as it involves 3 arteries. I advise you discuss this with her cardiologist. He/she will know better what actions to take as he/she knows her full history. Best wishes
