I'm a cardiac cath lab tech and I would seek a second open before a cabg. If her stenosis is at the left main then cagb is her only option. But if it just her lad then a good interventionalist could ptca and place a drug eluding stent and avoid open heart. Grafts from a cabg typically last only 10 years. Either way, good luck.
