Hi!
I am sorry to hear about that. Yes, it is possible that you had a by pass surgery following which another heart artery got blocked. For this you would need a second bypass surgery. While there is a genetic factor behind the blockage of artery, you need to lead a very healthy lifestyle to avoid further blockage or at least considerably slow down the process. You need to learn about this during post-op rehabilitation and follow for life. All the best! Take care!
