Heart operation bypass
Common Questions and Answers about Heart operation bypass
operation
Many individuals following open heart surgery have a memory problem for about 6 months post operation. Open heart surgery puts the individual on heart and lung machine so the fibrosis is probably not an issue during the operation.
The main problem with the heart is the valve orifice and that can be corrected without open heart surgery (sometimes). The aorta regurgitation can be the cause of shortness of breath as well as the pulmonary issue. What is the operation expectation.
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?
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.
It does seem very odd that they decided on a bypass operation and now they want to do a stress test. If you decide bypass is the best option, then all other tests should have previously been done to back this up.
A bypass can last much longer than 10 years if they use the arteries from the chest, the Left internal mammary artery and the right. These last the natural life of the patient.
I recently had a double bypass operation and recovered pretty quickly, about rwo months after my surgery, I developed shortness of breath and get very winded when I walk or do any kind of exercise, it is worse at night when I am laying down, all this happened after my surgery, could the bypass have anything to do with it?

I have always had a feeling that something happened during the bypass operation which caused me to feel worse and yet no test is able to find it. I do remember that my lungs didn't feel the same, it felt like I could only inhale about half the usual volume of air, even months after surgery but xrays showed no problem. I hope they find the problem eventually cause like you, it's driving me nuts. All tests show I should be very fit but my body just doesnt seem to want to believe that.
I have had a angiogram and have been told that I will need a Triple heart bypass as they cannot use stents because of the position of the narrowing and that one of the larger arteries is slightly blocked. I am not bothered about having the operation but as the new veins only last about 10 to 15 years I dont know weather to wait as I can still work and walk ok at the moment I just get tightness in the middle of my chest and angina pain if I run.
t have Mitral valve prolapse but instead I have an alarming result because in between normal and bypass operation, I am now in the middle. If you could please explain in layman's term what my 2D echo result means. Is it life threatening? This is my 2D echo result: Interpretation: doppler: normal mitral tricuspid E/A ratios normal pulmonary artery pressure 2D ECHO: Normal left ventricular geometry (left ventricular mass index = 71 g/m2; relative wall thickness = 0.
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.
i suffered severe heart attack 2 months ago and now doctors suggest. me bypass surgery.my main artery is working 30% and rest arteries are in gud condition.and i got natural bypass which is gud sign told me doctors butt still they suggest me surgery.is there any solution by medicines and changing lifestyle?
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.
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.
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.
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...
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 heart rate was elevated after my cabg. At rest it was 100 and at exertion it was jumping to 186. You Father had his surgery just over a week ago? I wasn't able to walk
far then, just about to the other side of the room. He has had major surgery and it will take time to settle down. I couldn't even take proper breaths after two weeks, the chest pain from the ribs expanding was too much. When his breathing gets back to normal, he will feel much better.
Was your grandmother in fairly good health prior to the operation with the exception of vessel occlusion? It takes several months to recover with a younger individual and 2 months is not a very long time, but more importantly is your grandmother slowly improving, or deteriorating? There can be a favorable turn around of the condition very quickly, and we can hope that is the eventual outcome.
Thanks for sharing, and if you have any further quesitons or comments you are welcome to respond.
