Hi,
It seems there was a minor branch with 80% obstruction which they couldn't stent and it didn't worth to go for CABG.
If it gets occluded, then a minor heart attack will happen. But there are good chances that it will stabilize with time. You should take your medications. I think you will start to feel better during a month.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
