That’s a tough question- I personally think a stent is a good choice unless your doctor has reservations. A stent is not so invasive.

I believe my Vascular Doc said the stent would be less invasive. And to keep the option for down the road for the bypass. However, which one has the better upside in being permanent for the long haul. I heard stents can cause blood clots to even blockages over time. Having my age and somewhat of okay health a bypass would be something I think my body could handle if it remedy’s my issue. However, if the stent is just as good and less invasive then I would say I’m good with that.
But I will definitely ask as many questions as possible before proceeding. Thanks again, and I will post what my doctor thinks that she wants to do.
