Bypass

When the plaque in the blood develops on the arterial walls, there is less blood flow to the heart.  This condition is known as atherosclerosis. The heart will be tired and fails if it does not receive blood in enough amount

Heart bypass surgery is advised to the patients if their coronary arteries become blocked which leads to a higher risk of a heart attack. 

Severe chest pain due to the some of narrow arteries which lead  to less blood flow even during rest or any type of light exercise 

If the patient has one or more infected coronary artery, or if the main pumping chamber left ventricle doesn’t function or work well. 

The left coronary artery which is the main artery that supplies most of the blood to the left ventricle becomes severely blocked or narrowed. 

The treatment options are:

• Coronary artery bypass surgery
• Minimal invasive heart surgery
• Stenting angioplasty
• Prescribed oral medication
• Modified diet plan
• A dedicated exercise program

For CABG Surgery, the expected result is quite helpful in relieving angina. This surgery increases the survival of patients who are suffering from lower pump function of the heart muscle or the stenosis of the multiple arteries or the left coronary artery. Most of the patients do not feel any type of symptoms for the next 10 to 15 years after the surgery. 

For a speedy recovery, one needs to stay active before the surgery as some level of physical fitness helps counteract the immobility of recovery, quit smoking, not to follow an intensive diet, keep a positive attitude, take medications as prescribed.

Some of the risk factors related to Cardiac bypass surgery are, bleeding, arrhythmia, chest pain, development of infection at the site, problems with the kidney, postpericardiotomy syndrome, loss of memory or difficulty thinking, death.

The success percentage of bypass surgery is around 95 – 98 %. Several studies or researches have shown that after the bypass surgery, there is an improvement in the function of the heart for patients who had a risk of a heart attack due to poor heart muscles. The success rate also depends on the patient’s diabetes or hypertension, kidney problems. The lower the risk factors the higher is the success of the surgery. It also helps with thinking skills and less reduction in memory, less injury to the heart, lesser death rates. 

There are many advantages of this surgery, such as less or no chest pain, lesser chances of a heart attack, and more energy for physical activities.

India is quite renowned for its medical services. India is home to some of the best Cardiac Doctors and Hospitals and is quite popular among Medical tourists. The cost of cardiac surgery in India is at quite affordable cost. Getting visas or quick appointment is an added advantage. Heart surgery in India is done with the help of the most advanced medical facilities and technologies. The surgery success rate is also higher. 

The coronary arteries are the blood vessels used for coronary circulation which transfers the oxygenated or pure blood to the heart. The coronary arteries cover the entire heart. The heart pumps oxygenated or pure blood received from the lungs to different parts of the body. This blood is then flowed out through coronary arteries. 

Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad are some of the best cities for CABG treatment in India.

Fortis Escorts Hospital and Max Super Speciality in New Delhi, Medanta The Medicity and Artemis in Gurugram, Wockhardt Hospital and Global Hospital in Mumbai, and Chennai, Columbia Asia Hospital, Bangalore,  Apollo and Zydus Hospitals in Ahmedabad. 

Cardiac surgery may be carried out on patients who are 85 years and older. There may be an extended stays in the hospital for elder patients. Consistent successful outcomes may be expected in the patients with certain criteria that identify the risk factors. 

Coronary heart disease is a very severe disorder that arises from the blocked arteries supplying the oxygenated or pure blood and nutrients to the heart. The grafts which are used to bypass the blocked the arteries which are blocked may lead to the risk of another heart attack. The major risk after the bypass surgery is the clotting of blood inside the grafts. 

If a person has coronary heart disease and the arteries surrounding the heart are narrowed, there is a chance to undergo coronary angioplasty or EECP – enhanced external counterpulsation instead of doing coronary artery bypass graft.
