Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The medicines are appropriate
Stent or CABG (Bypass surgery) should be done, as advised
Further progression can be prevented or postponed by aggressive management of all the risk factors
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Good luck
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
