Hi,
I can understand that one of the graft is completely occluded and other is 50% blocked.
In such a case we generally advise angioplasty of the blocked graft which is done non surgically.
If you have no symptoms, you can be put on optimized medical therapy and observed. You should continue Ecosprin and Atorvastatin as advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
