Advanced Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Performed by Expert Cardiovascular Surgeons
Heart bypass surgery at Memorial Hospital Turkey offers uninsured American and Canadian patients a highly specialized, life-saving solution for severe coronary artery disease. Performed by expert cardiovascular surgeons in world-class operating rooms, this procedure restores healthy blood flow to the heart, prevents future heart attacks, and improves long-term quality of life. Memorial combines modern cardiac technology, internationally accredited standards, and an experienced multidisciplinary heart team to ensure maximum safety and excellent outcomes.
🩺 What Is Coronary Angioplasty?
Heart bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is an open-heart surgical procedure that creates a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle. A healthy artery or vein usually taken from the chest, arm, or leg is grafted above and below the blocked coronary artery, allowing blood to “bypass” the obstruction. CABG improves blood flow, reduces chest pain, prevents heart attacks, and can treat single, double, triple, or multiple blocked arteries depending on the severity of coronary artery disease.
This procedure is typically recommended when blockages are too extensive or complex to be treated with angioplasty or stent placement. By restoring consistent and oxygen-rich blood flow, CABG helps protect heart function, improves exercise tolerance, and significantly enhances long-term quality of life.
🩺 Types of Angioplasty Procedures
- Single Bypass – One blocked coronary artery is treated.
- Double Bypass – Two arteries are bypassed.
- Triple Bypass – Three blocked arteries are grafted.
- Quadruple Bypass – Four arteries are bypassed.
- On-Pump CABG – Surgery performed using a heart-lung machine.
- Off-Pump CABG (Beating Heart Surgery) – Performed while the heart continues beating, ideal for specific conditions.
- Minimally Invasive CABG – Smaller incisions used in select cases.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
Coronary artery bypass grafting is recommended for patients whose heart arteries are severely narrowed or blocked, especially when symptoms persist or less-invasive treatments are no longer effective.
✔️ Severe coronary artery disease in one or multiple vessels
✔️ Ongoing chest pain (angina) or shortness of breath
✔️ Arteries too narrowed or blocked for stents/angioplasty
✔️ Left main or multi-vessel coronary disease
✔️ High heart-attack risk from plaque buildup or poor blood flow
✔️ No improvement with medication or minimally invasive options
✔️ Weakened heart function from reduced oxygen supply
✔️ Emergency cases needing immediate open-heart care
✔️ Abnormal stress test, angiogram, or echocardiogram results
📝 Consultation & Preparation
Before Coronary artery bypass, patients undergo a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to ensure safety, optimize outcomes, and prepare both the body and heart for the procedure.
✔️Full cardiovascular workup: ECG, echocardiogram, angiography
✔️ Review of symptoms (chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, breathlessness)
✔️ Smoking cessation and lifestyle guidance
✔️ Medication adjustments, including stopping blood thinners
✔️ Blood work, lung tests, and organ-function assessments
✔️ Shaving of chest/leg/arm areas to reduce infection risk
✔️ Fasting from the night before surgery
✔️ Chest X-ray and planning for best graft sites
✔️ Anesthesia consultation on sedation process
✔️ Pre-surgery bathing and hygiene steps
✔️ Weight check for fluid-balance planning
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
After CABG surgery, patients follow a structured recovery plan focused on safety, comfort, mobility, and long-term heart health.
✔️ ICU monitoring for 1–3 days
✔️ Continuous care by cardiac surgeons, ICU doctors, and nurses
✔️ Gradual removal of drains, catheters, and pacing wires
✔️ Progression from liquids to regular meals
✔️ Breathing and mobility exercises with physiotherapy
✔️ No heavy lifting or pushing for several weeks
✔️ Chest support pad to protect the breastbone
✔️ Pain control with prescribed medications
✔️ Watch incision sites for redness, swelling, or discharge
✔️ Scheduled cardiac follow-up visits
✔️ Daily walking to rebuild strength
