- Significant damage or disease affecting multiple heart arteries, reducing heart function.
- Ineffectiveness or unsuitability of less invasive procedures like angioplasty or stenting to address arterial blockages.
- Presence of critical blockages, especially in the left main coronary artery, impacting blood supply to a substantial portion of the heart.
- Persistent chest pain (angina) despite medication or other treatments, indicating reduced blood flow to the heart.
