Heart Bypass Surgery- How Successful Is It?

A heart bypass surgery is a major heart operation for patients having obstructed or constricted coronary arteries. The surgery attempts to restore normal blood supply to the heart and relieve debilitating symptoms of coronary artery disease. It is done by grafting a blood vessel from the legs, arms, or chest around the blocked/constricted coronary artery to detour the flow of blood to the heart. It assures excellent survival rates by lowering the risk of heart attack and failure, and has a notable overall success rate. Read on to know more about the success of heart bypass surgery in Delhi and the potential outcomes.

How Successful is Heart Bypass Surgery- What Results to Expect?

**** 

The outcomes of heart bypass surgery are variable depending on various factors, including the patient’s general health status. The patient can get details about the potential consequences from the cardiac surgeon during consultation.

Here are the benefits

• High Overall Success/Survival Rate- In general, the surgery is 100% safe and boasts remarkable overall success/survival rates (exceeding 90%, many times reaching 98%) when performed by a highly skilled and experienced surgeon on an eligible patient. Thanks to the use of modern surgical techniques, better anaesthesia, and improved aftercare routine, the patients are benefiting from the surgery by living longer.

• Significant Relief from Symptoms and Reduced Medication Dependency- The surgery alleviates symptoms like shortness of breath and severe chest pain, thereby improving the patient’s life quality. The positive outcome of the surgery indicates its effectiveness, and so there is no longer a requirement for medications prescribed earlier for managing symptoms of coronary artery disease.

• Improved Blood Flow to the Heart Muscle- The surgery minimizes the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) or other serious cardiovascular conditions. It contributes to long-lasting improvement in overall cardiovascular health.

• Improved Exercise Capacity and Life Quality- The patient, after full recovery from heart bypass surgery, can engage in physical activities without any restrictions imposed by coronary artery disease. They lead more fulfilling, healthier lives.

• Positive Psychological Impact- A successful heart bypass surgery and improved prognosis of critical cardiac health issues also improve the patient’s mental well-being by reducing anxiety and stress associated with the disease.
