What are the Types of Heart Bypass Surgery?

The different types of heart bypass surgery in India are as follows:

  • Open heart coronary artery bypass graft surgery is when a large incision is made in the chest which will allow your surgeon to directly see and access the surgical area. Open surgery involves a longer recovery compared to minimally invasive surgery.
  • Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is performed by a small (three to five-inch) incision between your ribs. The Advantages include minimal incision, less pain, less bleeding, less hospital stay, faster recovery, and good cosmetic results.
  • Port access coronary artery bypass surgery is performed by inserting special instruments and a thoracoscope through ports or small incisions in your chest. A thoracoscope is a thin, lighted instrument fitted with a small camera. The camera transmits pictures of your inner chest to a video screen that can be viewed by the surgeon while performing surgery.
  • Off-pump surgery does not use a heart-lung machine, but your surgeon will operate on an actively beating heart. Your surgeon will reduce your heart rate with medications or a device.
  • On-pump surgery is performed with a heart-lung machine. This machine will temporarily take over the role of a heart in pumping blood to the other organs and tissues. This is a common type of heart bypass surgery. It allows your surgeon to operate on a heart that is not beating and which has no blood travelling through it.
  • Robot-assisted surgery allows your surgeon to use a special computer to control robotic arms to perform the surgery. The surgeon can see a three-dimensional view of the surgery on a monitor. This type of surgery is very precise and uses small, keyhole-size incisions.

Your surgeon will advise you on the suitable procedure based on your age, medical history and general health.

How is Heart Bypass Surgery Performed?

A cardiac surgeon performs bypass surgery and specializes in the surgical treatment of conditions of the heart. A cardiac surgeon is also known as a cardiothoracic surgeon. Your surgeon performs heart bypass surgery using general anaesthesia. This procedure may last up to 4 hours or more depending on the complexity of the disease, number of bypasses and additional procedures.

  1. Step 1 – Your surgeon makes an incision in the middle of your chest and your rib cage is then spread apart to expose your heart.
  2. Step 2 – You may be connected to a heart-lung machine that circulates oxygenated blood through your body while your surgeon operates on your heart. (ON PUMP SURGERY)
  3. Step 3 – The surgeon takes a section of healthy blood vessels from the lower leg and attaches it to the blocked or damaged portion of your artery so that blood flow is diverted around the narrowed part of the diseased artery. This is known as grafting.
  4. Step 4 – The function of the bypass is checked and the surgeon will restore your heartbeat.

How is Heart Bypass Surgery Performed?

You should keep the following in mind to keep your heart healthy after surgery:

  • You will have to quit smoking; have regular exercise, have dietary changes and maintain a healthy weight.
  • You should have laxatives, fruits and fibres because they will help in constipation.
  • In case you had a leg incision, keeping the limb and elastocrepe bandage elevated will help.
  • You should wear leg stockings (Crepe or elastic stockings) for at least 2 weeks.
  • You should remove the stockings at bedtime, wash the stockings with mild soap and water, and dry them over a line.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothes
  • Climb at a slow pace on the staircase and avoid pulling yourself up with your arms when using the handrail.
  • Avoid lifting more than 3-5 kg for 6 weeks.

What is the success rate of Heart Bypass Surgery (CABG)?

The overall success rate of heart bypass operations in a year is almost 98%. After surgery, most people feel better and remain symptom-free for about 10 to 15 years.
