Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
She is ideal candidate for bypass surgery.
Triple vessels disease with hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol are an absolute indication for Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
She is symptomatic (breathlessness) despite of medicines. This also favours surgical management more.
So better not wait and get done CABG.
Consult cardiothoracic surgeon and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
