About
Heart bypass surgery
Heart bypass surgery treats coronary artery disease by rerouting blood flow using grafts, improving heart function, and reducing heart attack risks.
Riverside B&J Hospital offers minimally invasive TAVR and TMVR procedures for valve replacements, ensuring reduced risks and faster recovery.
When is heart bypass surgery performed and why?
Severe Coronary Blockages
For severe coronary blockages, surgery restores blood flow and prevents heart attacks.
High-Risk Anatomy
Complex coronary anatomy often requires bypass surgery over less invasive procedures.
Multiple Blockages
Multiple arterial blockages can be treated simultaneously through bypass surgery.
Uncontrolled Angina
When angina remains uncontrolled, surgery becomes an effective treatment option.
Left Main Disease
Narrowing of the left main artery necessitates bypass surgery for revascularization.
Failed interventions
Previous failed interventions may lead to bypass surgery as a durable alternative.
Complications of Heart Bypass Surgery
While heart bypass surgery is a common and generally safe procedure, like any surgery, it carries some risks. Here are potential risks and complications associated with heart bypass surgery:
- Infection: Risk of infection at incision or chest.
- Bleeding: Possible bleeding requiring transfusions or procedures.
- Stroke: Small stroke risk from blood clots or plaque.
- Kidney Problems: Rare kidney complications, especially with pre-existing disease.
- Blood Clots: Potential clots causing blockages in organs.
- Pain and Discomfort: Common pain is managed with medications.
- Irregular Heartbeat: Risk of arrhythmia, treated with medications.
- Breathing Problems: Temporary breathing difficulties, requiring respiratory support.
