Hi V Ramesh,
This depends entirely on your father physical condition/situation. There are individuals well into their 80's that do well after by-pass surgery. I recommend discussing the pros/cons with his physician so he/you can make the right decision.
All the best,

Dear Ramesh,
If this bypass surgery is elective, get a second opinion. Even if the surgey is successful, what will keep the new arteries open? In a couple of years, your father will need more surgery until he finally runs out of veins to graft.
Wouldn't it be better to prevent, and reverse heart disease? Ask Dr. Harry Elwardt for his opinion: www.GreatHealth-Tour.com/mfarris
Yours for Great Health,
