Sometimes a surgeon doesn't want to risk an operation when the EF is below 50%. Below 29% is considered heart failure phase and almost never does a surgeon want to risk major surgery unless it is a critical situation.
Five years ago I was hospitalized with congested heart failure with an EF of 13% to 29%. I had a 98% occluded RCA and it was stented; circumflex 72% occluded no stent and an LAD 100% blocked. The LAD had developed other vessels to supply the deficit area.
Hi, my father (64) recently had a heart attack, and the cath was able to unblock a couple of the arteries. However, the film still shows three blocked arteries... The surgeon told us that one of the blocked arteries is big enough for him to bypass, but doesn't want to risk open heart surgery to only bypass one of the arteries, so he suggested angioplasty.
my father having hernia problem, he had heart blockages too 90,99,90% we come to know in an geography, we don't want to do bypass sugary but want to do hernia operation whether it is suitable for him???
My father is 60 years old and had a heart attack last week. When diagnosed he had 80% blockage in one artery and a minor block in other artery. His Coloestrol, sugar and BP is perfect. Doc though is suggesting a bypass, can anybody suggest that is it the last remedy or we can have some scope through medicines?
s heart was not pumping during the operation. It is not unexpected for some cognitive loss following on-the-pump heart bypass surgery. It is a phenomenon known as "pump head" that is oserved in some patients following coronary bypass surgery.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University now say that although some patients may experience declines in mental skills and motor speed immediately after surgery, such negative side effects will usually subside within a matter of months.
They were followed for a median of 4.6 years. Those who received stents did not show a reduction the risk of heart attack, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, or the composite of heart attack, stroke and death, but they did have a greater reduction in chest pain than those who received medical therapy alone".
It depends on the type of surgery, the patinet's medical conditions and their age. For a simple bypass the risk is very low, less than a few percentage points. For complex valvular disease the risk can be as high as 10 to 15%. Heart function and the functional status of the patient play a huge role in prognosis.
i had a bypass 10yrs . ago..my heart EF is 38%..my heart echo shows vdilated left ventricle, segmental wall motion abnormalities impaired oerall systolic funtion....severe mitral regurge, dilated left atrium....mild airtic regrge, no significant systolic gradient...a small sized thromus is attached to the apex...ischemic cardiomyopathy...this is my case i get difficult breathing facilities every now & then.. what do i need to do..do i need an operation to replace my mitral regurge...
My husband is 52 and had triple bypass surgery at the end of January 2011. He recovered well and has no problems with breathing. However, he has a persistent "crawling" feeling on the left side of his chest where the drain was inserted. Is this normal and when will it dissapate? The other probem is he seems to have lost interest in everything as well as his business.
My husband underwent a heart bypass in October last year. Almost immediately after the surgery, when he returned from hospital he experienced (cold weather) angina-like pressure on the chest. In March, this year, he was checked by the hospital doctors (had his bypass veine checked - I do not know the English word for it) and they found out that the bypass vein had closed down due to the blood pressure in his "old" veines was higher than in the bypass.
In the United States we would probably re evaluate your heart function several months after bypass surgery and if your heart function is less than 35% and significant symptoms, a defibrillator is often recommended. If you you heart function is over 35%, medical management is advised.
I hope this helps and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Kidney problems after bypass surgery can occur but the majority recover. It is also common for shortness of breath during recovery. Some patients take several weeks or even months for this to resolve. This does not mean they shouldn't run tests to establish it isn't a problem with the bypass vessels.
my boyfriend is just 28 years old and he has got two heart attacks 5 years ago. He has done a hearted bypass operation in year 2010. He has recently checked the medical reports and has found that his heart is functioning only 27%.
Please tell me the risk of the above and kindy instruct me to help him to recover from this.
Not that I'm aware of, only a scan that can see how well perfused the tissue is. In case the supply is from the RCA, I think it it were my heart, I would have the stent. I'm not so sure about the bypass though. If all the left side is oxygenated, then I fail to see a reason. Perhaps the Cardiologist can give a valid one?
My 66 year old husband had a quadruple heart bypass 10 years ago , & he has just been diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm , approximately 4cm in size.
He still does a part-time gardening job twice a week , & mucks out two horse stables daily.
My question is … will these fairly strenuous activities adversely affect his condition , & are there precautions he should take regarding physical work ?
Open heart surgery is scary, but I think the doctors are considering your age when making the decision of bypass versus stents. Bypass surgery fixes the arteries, which may be crooked or turned. Stents are more like band-aids in which they help and extend life, but don't necessary fix the problem. When arteries are not straight enough, the blood rushing through can cause a spot that becomes inflammed and sticky.
Requires another stent or open heart surgery for a bypass. A bypass can be problematic as the harvested stent is susceptible to a lesion, etc. as the original vessel. The best option is to void interventional therapy as long as medication is effective.
There is no cure although there is a belief by some people that some medication can reverse CAD due to plaque. The advice to stop or delay CAD is to follow a heart healthy diet, exercise regimen, avoid stressful situations (i.e.
