When to go for a Coronary Bypass Surgery- All you need to know

What is Coronary Bypass Surgery?


Coronary bypass surgery redirects blood around a section of a blocked or partially blocked artery in your heart. The procedure involves taking a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm or chest and connecting it below and above the blocked arteries in your heart. With a new pathway, blood flow to the heart muscle improves.


Why to Choose CBS?


Coronary bypass surgery is one treatment option if you have a blocked artery to your heart.

The best heart specialist in Jaipur might consider performing the surgery if:


·  Patient has severe chest pain caused by narrowing of several arteries that supply the heart muscle, leaving the muscle short of blood during even light exercise or at rest.

·  He has more than one diseased coronary artery, and the heart's main pumping chamber that is the left ventricle is not functioning well.

·  The left main coronary artery is severely narrowed or blocked. This artery supplies most of the blood to the left ventricle.

·  There is an artery blockage that cannot be treated with a procedure that involves temporarily inserting and inflating a tiny balloon to widen the artery.

·  The patient had a previous angioplasty or placement of a small wire mesh tube (stent) to hold the artery open that has not been successful. Or he had a stent placement, but the artery has narrowed again.

· Coronary bypass surgery might also be performed in emergency situations, such as a heart attack.


Surgical techniques used-


The best Heart Specialist in Jaipur can involve the following techniques for CBS-

Off-pump or beating-heart surgery: This procedure involves doing surgery on the beating heart using special equipment to stabilize the area of the heart.


Minimally invasive surgery: A surgeon performs coronary bypass through small incisions in the chest, often with the use of robotics and video imaging that help the surgeon operate in a small area. Variations of minimally invasive surgery might be called keyhole surgery.

After completing the graft, the surgeon/ best heart specialist in Jaipur will restore heartbeat, disconnect you from the heart-lung machine and use wire to close chest bone. The wire will remain in the patient’s body after the bone heals.


Cardiac rehabilitation often begins while the patient is still in the hospital. He is provided with an exercise and education program designed to help him recover. The doctors continue with monitored programs in an outpatient setting until he is ready to follow a home-based maintenance program.
