HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, as long as the treatment is concern it is all depends upon the clinical symptoms and the EKG changes if the symptoms are not so severe and minimal changes are there in EKG then it is better to go for stenting and if the symptoms are sever and mark changes are there in EKG which suggestive of infarction and ischemia then CABG is advisable, you can discuss with cardiologist hope this information helps.
