On Pump Surgery In India At Affordable Low Cost
Who is eligible to receive coronary artery bypass graft surgery ?
The decision to prescribe medical treatment, invasive procedures or cardiac bypass surgery depends on several factors including the extent of cardiovascular disease, the severity of symptoms, your age and other medical conditions. The cardiologist (heart specialist) and surgeon will determine the best method of therapy for each patient.
What happens during the cardiac bypass surgery ?
The surgery generally lasts from three to five hours, depending on the number of arteries being bypassed. After general anesthesia is administered, the surgeon removes the veins or prepares the arteries for grafting.
There are several types of bypass grafts that can be used in cardiac bypass surgery. The surgeon decides which graft(s) to use, depending on the location of the blockage, the amount of the blockage and the size of the patient's coronary arteries...
Surgical Procedure
To bypass the blockage, the surgeon makes a small opening just below the blockage in the diseased coronary artery. If a saphenous (leg) or radial (arm) vein is used, one end is connected to the coronary artery and the other to the aorta. If a mammary artery is used, one end is connected to the coronary artery while the other remains attached to the aorta. The graft is sewn into the opening, redirecting the blood flow around this blockage...
Heart-Lung Machine
During surgery, the heart-lung bypass machine (called 'on-pump' surgery) is used to take over for the heart and lungs, allowing the circulation of blood throughout the rest of the body. The heart's beating is stopped so the surgeon can perform the bypass procedure on a 'still' heart...
Off-pump or beating heart bypass surgery
Off-pump or beating heart bypass surgery allows surgeons to perform surgery on the heart while it is still beating. The heart-lung machine is not used. The surgeon uses advanced operating equipment to stabilize (hold) portions of the heart and bypass the blocked artery in a highly controlled operative environment. Meanwhile, the rest of the heart keeps pumping and circulating blood to the body...
Minimally Invasive Technique
Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery is an option for some patients who require a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) bypass graft to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. A small incision is used.
In contrast, traditional CABG surgery requires a 6- to 8-inch incision down the center of the sternum (breastbone) to provide the surgeon direct access to the heart. The benefits of minimally invasive bypass surgery include a smaller incision (and a smaller scar), reduced risk of infection, decreased recovery time and shorter hospital stay...
Recovery
Full recovery from coronary artery bypass graft surgery takes around two months. Most patients are able to drive in about three to eight weeks after surgery. Your doctor will provide specific guidelines for your recovery and return to work, including specific instructions on activity and how to care for your incision and general health after the surgery. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery does not prevent coronary artery disease from recurring, therefore lifestyle changes and prescribed medications are strongly recommended to reduce this risk.
