Cardiac bypass surgery, commonly known as coronary artery bypass surgery, is internationally recognized as the most effective method to treat coronary heart disease. It is to establish a channel between the proximal end and the distal end of the coronary artery stenosis, so that the blood can bypass the narrow median and reach the distal end, just like a bridge to make the road cross the ravine and river unimpeded. ?
what is heart bypass?
heart bypass is to remove one or more blood vessels from the human body by surgery. These blood vessels belong to the patient himself. Connect one end of a blood vessel to the thickest aorta of the human body as a source of blood supply. The other end is anastomosed to the coronary artery far from the stenosis. So as to provide blood perfusion for these narrow coronary arteries. To ensure normal blood supply, our internal mammary artery is the most famous one among so many removed bridge vessels. It grows on the chest wall, one on the left and one on the right, which is very suitable for bridging. It is the bridge vessel with the best patency rate in medical development at present. The patency rate can reach 9%-92% in 1 years, and no material or organization can match it.
What are the complications after heart bypass surgery?
The probability of complications after bypass surgery is relatively low, theoretically less than 1%. But it is very difficult to answer the question of what complications can occur. Why? Because all thoracotomy may have complications, so will bypass surgery. Include pain, infection, blood vessel blockage, etc. But in general, there are not many complications after bypass surgery.
Who needs heart bypass surgery
Heart bypass surgery is generally suitable for patients who can't place stents. For example, after coronary angiography, it is found that the patient's blood vessels are blocked or narrowed seriously, which requires interventional treatment. If these patients can't place stents, it is best to do this coronary bypass surgery for treatment. Now, such means as drug treatment, health awareness and stent treatment are relatively advanced. After early detection, ordinary patients can take early drugs.
