Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you are known to have coronary artery disease with both the branches of coronary artery being blocked to the extent of 70%.

You are facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction .This is mainly due to narrowing of penile arteries due to generalized process of atherosclerosis like coronary arteries causing diminished blood flow to erectile tissue in penis leading to ED what is termed as Vasculogenic ED

Consult qualified Sexologist for evaluation and discuss with him regarding a procedure called A Low Intensity Shock Wave Lithotripsy (LI WSL)This will help you to develop collateral vessels in penis and thereby improve blood circulation to erectile tissue to get good and hard erection .
