CABG
CABG treatment in Mysore
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure to improve blood flow to the heart. It is done when arteries become narrowed due to a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque. During the procedure, a graft is made from a healthy artery or vein and attached to the blocked artery, allowing for improved blood flow. CABG is typically recommended when a person has multiple blockages or when blockages are too severe for other treatments. It can also bypass a blockage that causes chest pain or shortness of breath, and often, it is done to improve the heart’s pumping ability or reduce the risk of a heart attack.
Pre-procedure
Pre-procedure for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a critical part of the surgical process. It is essential to ensure that the patient is physically and emotionally prepared for the procedure.
Patients should stop taking certain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory drugs at least one week before the surgery. The patient should also stop taking vitamin E, fish oil, and other supplements. The patient should also avoid eating or drinking for at least 12 hours before the surgery.
Before the surgery, the patient will have lab tests to check for any underlying medical conditions. An ECG will be done to prevent the electrical activity of the heart. The patient will also have an echocardiogram to assess the condition of the heart.
Procedure
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a type of surgery that improves blood flow to the heart. It's used for people with severe coronary heart disease (CHD). During the procedure, a surgeon uses a blood vessel from another body part, usually the chest, leg, or arm, to bypass a blocked or narrowed coronary artery. This new "graft" creates a new path around the blocked artery so blood can flow to the heart muscle.
The CABG treatment in Mysore itself usually takes 3-6 hours. The patient is placed under general anaesthesia during the surgery, and the chest is opened. The surgeon will then attach the graft to the aorta and the coronary artery beyond the blockage. Depending on the number of blockages, the surgeon may use several grafts.
After the grafts are in place, the surgeon will close the chest and take the patient to the intensive care unit for monitoring. After a few days, the patient will be transferred to a regular hospital room, and the recovery process will begin.
Post-procedure
-
A post-procedure for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a vital step in ensuring that the patient can recover from the procedure safely and effectively. Generally, the post-procedure period can last from two to four weeks, depending on the individual’s health condition.
-
During this time, the patient will be monitored closely for any signs of complications, and their vital signs will be monitored regularly. Medications will be given to help prevent infection and reduce the risk of blood clots. The patient will be advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities.
-
Physical therapy will help the patient regain strength and range of motion. The doctor may recommend that the patient take walks to help encourage blood circulation.
-
The patient will also be advised to follow a heart-healthy diet and monitor their diet and lifestyle to ensure they are not at risk for further health complications.
-
The patient may be encouraged to attend cardiac rehabilitation classes. These classes are designed to help the patient learn more about their condition and how to manage their health and lifestyle.
-
Finally, the patient will have regular check-ups with their doctor to ensure they are recovering properly. The doctor may order additional tests or imaging if necessary.
