Suggest Treatment For Coronary Artery Disease

I have a calcified blockage in my left artery with a smaller one above it. I also have a total of 7 stents in my other arteries. What can be done to make this go away. Angina pain is managed with blood thinners(plavex, ASA) and Nitroglycerin patches(04) daily with a spray if needed. Is there anything that can be done for me?

Hello,

Continue analgesics and nitrates. Bypass surgery may be required in severe cases. Consult a cardiologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
