With children there is usually two operations, the second operation to account for the growth factor of a child.
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?
Hi
I have a coronary calcium score of 577 and my heart arteries are serverly calcified. Are open heart operations (bypasses) with good prognosis with type 1 diabetics? I have been on insulin for 32 years since I was 17.
Im 18yrs old and I had an operation to correct a sub aortic stinosis which didnt work at theage of 2 and a half, and around the time of me 12 birthday, i had thae ross precedure done, and obviously, im still alive, fingers crossed all will be ok with you, im going to have a lot more operations on my heart so im sure you, or whoever it is having their second op will be ok.
What a sweet thing to say! Well tbh 4 operations is difficult in itself, what operations did you have? Well apart from the forum magnem? :) I will try these exercises, I like dancing so I do light dancing and it's fun too but I have to stop after a while. You sound like a very brave lady!
How do you find out the number of heart operations or procedures your doctor has performed and his/her success rate?
I am just wondering if you know how big the risk is for an operation like this? Do many of these operations happen? Because i have had a few operations before, does that greatly increase my risk this time (due to scar tissue around the heart)? I live in Australia and my specialist here gave me the talk of it being a high risk operation, etc.
Re-operations are generally thought to be higher-risk than first-time operations, but some of the top centers (on the order of Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Texas Heart, Mass General, etc.) are showing re-op mortality and morbidity stats that are very similar to first-time stats. The skill of the surgeon plays a huge, huge role. Your daughter needs an expert surgeon. In my opinion, she should try to go to a major heart center for this operation, even if she has to travel.
I've had SVT ablation operations about 10 years ago with the symptoms of racing heart which was a great success. but the last 2 years I've felt dizzy/foggy and a sore neck, which last for a couple of days sometime more, then nothing for a month, then returns. Could it be SVT again with different symptoms.

The FDA on Monday expanded its advice to doctors to contact all patients who got any injection made by the company, including steroids and drugs used in eye surgery as well as heart operations. The agency said it took the step "out of an abundance of caution" as it investigates the new reports involving the heart surgery drug and the second steroid, called triamcinolone acetonide.
