Coronary Care Surgery - Make Plans For Recovery
After Your Surgery

• If your doctor tells you that you need a coronary
  artery bypass operation on your heart, youve
  probably got a lot of questions.
• Your coronary arteries supply your heart muscle
  with blood.
• If they have too much plaque built up in them, it
  can narrow or even block your blood from passing
  through.
• If your heart cant get enough blood or oxygen,
  you can have a heart attack.

What is the procedure?

• The procedure involves taking a healthy blood
  vessel from your leg, arm or chest and connecting
  it beyond the blocked arteries in your heart.
• Although Coronary care surgery doesn't cure the
  heart disease that caused the blockages
  (atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease), it
  can ease symptoms, such as chest pain and
  shortness of breath.
• For some people, this procedure can improve heart
  function and reduce the risk of dying of heart
  disease.

Why it's done

• Coronary care surgery is one option if you have a
  blocked artery to your heart.
• Your doctor might consider it if
• You have severe chest pain caused by narrowing of
  several of the arteries that supply your heart
  muscle, leaving the muscle short of blood during
  even light exercise or at rest.
• You have more than one diseased coronary artery,
  and the heart's main pumping chamber the left
  ventricle isn't functioning well.

• Your left main coronary care surgery is severely
  narrowed or blocked. This artery supplies most of
  the blood to the left ventricle.
• You have an artery blockage for which temporarily
  inserting and inflating a tiny balloon to widen
  the artery (angioplasty) isn't appropriate,
  you've had a previous angioplasty or placement of
  a small wire mesh tube (stent) to hold the artery
  open that hasn't been successful, or you've had
  stent placement, but the artery has narrowed
  again (restenosis).
• Coronary care surgery might also be performed in
  emergency situations, such as a heart attack, if
  you're not responding to other treatments.
• Even with coronary bypass surgery, you'll need to
  make lifestyle changes after surgery.

• Before your surgery, youll get blood tests,
  chest X-rays, and an electrocardiogram (EKG).
• Your doctor may also do an X-ray procedure called
  a coronary angiogram.
• It uses a special dye to show how the blood moves
  through your arteries.
• Your doctor will also let you know if you need to
  make any changes to your diet or lifestyle before
  the surgery and make any changes to medicines you
  take.
