I Am A 75 Year Old Male. I Had Extensive Bypass Surgery. Now They Tell Me My Ejection Rate Is Dangerously Low (17). What Should I Do?

I already had by pass surgery. My artery and veins are seriously clogged. They said I am too far gone for stents. I had bypass surgery. Instead of my ejection rate improving it dropped by 50%. They said it is dangerously low. They are talking about new procedures. What should I have done. I have read about so many procedures. Barostim, Impella, Watchman, a defibulator and many more. Does any one have any suggestions?
