?We can treat blockages of 50%-70% with medication. Blockages around 80% or more may need a stent. The 100% blockages ? total occlusions ? used to require open-heart surgery, minimally invasive technique. Stent is the only option after stenting you will be kept on anticoagulants and other drugs to prevent blood clot formation in future again.
