Heart Bypass Surgeon in Mumbai, India

Heart Bypass Surgery

Heart Bypass Surgery / Beating Heart Total Arterial Myocardial Revascularization is a less invasive procedure for treating severe coronary artery blockages restricting the blood flow and oxygen to your heart. A heart bypass surgery involves taking a healthy blood vessel from another area of your body, usually from the chest, arm, or leg. The blood vessel is used to create a new pathway for the restricted blood & oxygen, which restores the normal flow of blood to the heart.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. When is bypass surgery needed?

The main artery (Aorta) carries blood from the heart. It has two main blood vessels branching from the base – the right and left coronary arteries. Each of these coronary arteries has several branches. When plaque buildups narrow an artery to about 70% of its normal size, the artery is significantly narrowed and a bypass is needed. 

Stents and angioplasty treat less severe blockages. That’s when a tiny balloon is threaded into the blocked artery and slowly inflated. Then a device known as a stent is used to keep the artery open.

However, in cases of severe blockages, particularly those requiring more extensive intervention, such as minimally invasive bypass surgery in Mumbai, India heart bypass surgery becomes the preferred treatment option.

2. How risky is bypass surgery?

The risk of a heart bypass surgery depends on the patient if they have an underlying disease. With an experienced surgeon, the surgery can be performed with an overall risk of 1%-2%. The level of risk differs based on age, how badly the heart is damaged or whether the aorta and brain vessels have a plaque buildup.

It’s recommended to consult with a Heart Bypass Surgeon in Mumbai, India, to determine the level of risk.

3. Are there any dietary restrictions before or after surgery?

Yes, you may need to follow a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet to help reduce the risk of complications. You may also need to avoid certain foods, such as those high in sugar or sodium. After the surgery is performed, it’s likely that you will need to switch to a healthy diet, which means eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. For more personalised information, consult with your surgeon.

4. How quickly will I recover?

Your recovery depends on your age and your fitness before the surgery. On average, you will have to stay in the hospital for about five to seven days following the surgery. Some patients who are in excellent physical condition can leave even earlier than that.

5. What can I do or not do after surgery?

You should avoid lifting heavy weights and performing strenuous activities to give your body time to heal after surgery. This doesn’t mean that should sit all day in bed; you can perform your everyday activities. Take it easy for the first two months till your body heals completely.  For more information, you can read our blog: https://drvishalkhullar.com/dos-and-donts-of-recovering-from-heart-surgery/
