It depends, either a cardiac bypass or angioplasty
Frequently, balloons and stents can unblock the artery but in some cases bypass surgery may be needed.

Majority of blocked arteries can be fixed via a catheter procedure with placement of "cardiac stents" however for patient who have multiple arteries blocked, then open heart bypass surgery is the best.
