Coronary artery bypass is the most commonly performed operation. It is a surgery performed to address tbe blockage or narrowing of the artery that feed to the heart. It is performed with the help of veins (grafts) taken from another part of the body and placed in the area of the clogged veins.
It is an operation to deliver blood to the heart through other veins (grafts).
Coronary Artery Bypass surgery is performed under general surgery and takes between 3 and 6 hours.

Bypass surgery is preferred in cases of multiple vascular occlusion and stiffness. A heart that is not nourished enough will lead to a heart attack in the future. Bypass surgery is also performed to eliminate the risk of heart attack in individuals at risk of heart attack. It is preferred in individuals with multiple vessel diseases, stenosis in the left main coronary artery, persistent chest pain despite drug treatment, impaired contraction power of the heart, re-occlusion of vessels previously opened with an angiography stent, individuals requiring heart valve surgery, and individuals with another heart disease.

Bypass literally means to bridge. It is the process of blocking the vessels leading to the heart and placing veins (grafts) taken from certain parts of the body to replace the blocked vessels in cases where the heart is not sufficiently nourished. This procedure, performed under general anesthesia, takes between 3 and 6 hours, depending on the number of blocked veins.

The hospital stay of patients varies between 4 and 7 days. During this period, patients start breathing exercises in line with the non-tiring exercise programs that are supervised by the one of our team members and a physiotherapist. Patients are called for a check-up 1 week after discharge. Individuals can return to their normal lives within 4 to 6 weeks, but it is very important that they have home-rest during that time, The chest area should be protected during the recovery period. It takes 2 months for the ribcage to fully heal after surgery. Once the rib cage heals, patients are considered recovered and can continue their daily lives. After full recovery is obtained, individuals are advised to make life-style changes and adjustments in their lives in terms of making health-concisous decisions to promote their cardio-vascular health in the long run.

Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is performed in individuals where the veins feeding the heart are blocked and the heart cannot receive proper nutrition. Individuals whose hearts cannot be nourished may experience serious health problems such as heart attack, sudden death, and a medication-dependent life. With this surgery, individuals’ symptoms caused by vascular occlusion are treated, their chances of having a heart attack are reduced to a minimum, and they are prevented from being dependent on medication and allowed to continue their normal lives.
