Any open heart surgery can be frightening. But if you are well informed and prepared, the process can be a whole lot easier. The following are some tips to consider before a Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting:

Tests: A wide range of tests will be done before CABG. You will be expected to provide the results of these tests to your cardiac surgeon for reference. These tests include an echocardiogram, Chest X-rays, angiogram, blood tests, stress tests and more.

Diet: Your doctor will recommend certain changes for you. These changes would be concerning your diet. You will be asked to avoid food one night before the surgery. 

Hygiene: You will be asked to bathe with medicated soap.

Alcohol consumption: If you drink alcohol regularly, you will need to discuss it with your doctor. You will have to stop consuming alcohol a few weeks before the surgery.

Smoking: You will have to quit smoking before the surgery. Smoking cigarettes can cause damage to the lungs.

Medicines: You must inform your doctor about any medicine you might be taking.

First, you will be put under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will begin by cutting a long incision in your chest (along the breastbone). A wide opening is created by the doctor to access your heart. 

You will be given medication that will stop the heart temporarily. This is done so that the surgeon can operate properly. A lung-heart machine will provide blood and oxygen supply to your body throughout the surgery. 

Followed by this, the surgeon will remove a healthy blood vessel from the leg or inside of the chest wall. He/she will then attach this healthy artery to bypass the blocked coronary artery.

The post-surgical experience after a CABG can be uncomfortable but high care needs to be maintained. You should expect the following cases:

• After you wake up, you will find various tubes and lines attached to your body. A tube to help you breathe will be available. 

• You will be asked to stay at the hospital for about 5-7 hours under observation.

• You would be suggested to rest properly.

• You should avoid indulging in any exhausting activities or lift heavy objects.

• During the recovery time, you should pay extra attention to your health.

Open Heart Bypass Surgery is recommended only when the case is severe. It doesn’t entirely treat Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). But allows the function of a damaged artery to be carried out properly. Otherwise, CAD can lead to life-threatening conditions. 

Due to the complexity of the surgery, some risks are involved:

• Infections in the incision area

• Concentration problems or memory loss

• Kidney problems

• Stroke 

• Heart Attacks

• Bleeding from attached graft 

• Heart Rhythm problems 

• Blood clots 

• Allergy reactions to anesthesia
