Alternatives for Bypass SurgeryIf you are trying to avoid bypass surgery, you may have a couple of options, including undergoing catheter procedures and/or taking certain medications. While medications can treat the symptoms of blocked coronary arteries, they can't fix them. Another alternative is balloon angioplasty, which is a type of catheter procedure that can help restore blood flow to the blocked artery. However, some people may not be good candidates for these bypass surgery alternatives.
