CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY
CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) involves sewing one end an artery or vein above a blocked coronary artery and the other end below the blockage, thereby allowing blood an alternative means to get to the heart. The arteries or veins used for the bypass (which are known as "grafts") are usually obtained from the leg or the chest wall.
Bypass surgery may not be possible if the coronary artery is heavily calcified or if the disease is very widespread. CABG can be done with or without connecting the patient to heart-lung machine, depending on the kind of blockages and surgeon's decision. Several new surgical approaches are being developed, which can potentially reduce the discomfort and complications associated with traditional bypass surgery.
These are collectively referred to as being "minimally invasive." In general, these approaches focus on performing bypass surgery though a very small chest incision and performing bypass surgery while the heart is still beating (ie, without the need for a heart/lung bypass machine).

Heart Valve Surgery -An Overview
Heart valve surgery is used to repair or replace diseased heart valves.
The valves control the direction of blood flow through your heart. The opening and closing of the heart valves produce the sound of the heartbeat.
Heart valve surgery is open-heart surgery that is done while you are under general anesthesia. A cut is made through the breast bone (sternum). Your blood is routed away from your heart to a heart-lung bypass machine. This machine keeps the blood circulating while your heart is being operated on.
Valves may be repaired or replaced. Replacement heart valves are either natural (biologic) or artificial (mechanical):
- Natural valves are from human donors (cadavers).
- Modified natural valves come from animal donors. (Porcine valves are from pigs, bovine are from cows.) These are placed in synthetic rings.
- Artificial valves are made of metal.
If you receive an artificial valve, you will need to take life-long medication to prevent blood clots. Natural valves rarely require life-long medication.
