Has anyone any experience of recertification following an angioplasty?

95% stenoses in marginal branch detected in August following angina symptoms.
6 months later and good stress ecg and echocardiogram but minor glitch on Thallium.
Further angiogram shows maybe a 30% restriction remaining, considered to be clinically not a problem but what will the CAA make of it?

Reading the protocol it looks like they may be ok with 50% after angioplasty but in practice is that the case?

Thanks ZZ
