BYPASS SURGERY

Why Is Bypass Surgery Performed? Our heart is a muscular pump which works continuously without taking any rest for which it requires uninterrupted supply of blood for its energy. The three coronary arteries which are attached to three walls of the muscular chamber, supply blood to heart muscle continuously. Whenever there is significant blockage (more than 70%) to any coronary artery, there will be demand supply mismatch and that particular muscle area will not contribute to pumping action properly (ischemia) or even muscle can die (infarction) which is heart attack. A person can succumb to major heart attack before reaching to hospital and if he survives his heart’s pumping function may get reduced leading to heart failure. Coronary artery disease can be presented as, Angina pectoris (Chest pain radiating to left arm), Heart burn (like acidity), heaviness in chest on walking, uneasiness or chest heaviness after meal, difficulty in breathing, ghabrahat, sweating, palpitations, fatigue, unconsciousness sometimes even sudden death. The main purpose of performing a CABG operation is : 1. Improve quality of life by alleviating all symptoms of coronary artery disease 2. Improve quantity of life: by preventing major heart attack and its complications.(reducing morbidity and mortality) Management strategy for Coronary artery disease are 1.Optimal medical management, 2.Catheter guided therapy (PTCA) 3.Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the one of the most effective revascularization strategies for patients with obstructive coronary artery disease as it A. relieves symptoms and improves survival. How Is The Surgery Performed? An incision of about 6 to 8 inches is made in the center of the chest to expose your heart and blocked arteries. Conduits are harvested from legs, arms and chest wall accordingly. Healthy conduits are sewn to blocked arteries in a fashion to reestablish blood flow to that region. `Traditionally a heart lung machine is used while doing this operation in a still heart and the heart-lung machine then performs the pumping and oxygenating functions of heart and lung. In a beating heart CABG, bypass surgery is performed while the heart is beating and doing its normal function and heart lung machine is not used. Minimally invasive CABG is done thru a small incision in the chest cavity without cutting the breast bone. Conventional CABG is where surgeon uses atleast one arterial conduit and remaining two or more venous conduit to bypass all dseasd arteries either in beating or arrested heart. TAR Bypass: surgeons use only arterial conduits (total arterial revascularization) To know more, Consult Nagpur's Top Interventional Cardiologist - Dr. Achyut Khandekar, at his Aasavari Clinic, Malviya Nagar, Khamla, Nagpur. #CARDIOLOGISTNEARME #CARDIOLOGISTINNAGPUR #INTERVENTIONALCARDIOLOGISTINNAGPUR #SERNIORCARDIOLOGISTINNAGPUR #TOPCARDIOLOGISTNEARME #BESTCARDIOLOGISTINNAGPUR #BESTCARDIOLOGISTNEARME #DRACHYUTKHANDEKAR #AASAVARICLINIC #BYPASSSURGERYNAGPUR HEART SPECIALIST DOCTOR IN NAGPUR HEART SPECIALIST SURGEON IN NAGPUR HEART BLOCKAGE DOCTOR IN NAGPUR HEART BLOCKAGE TREATMENT IN NAGPUR SENIOR INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGIST IN NAGPUR BEST CARDIOLOGIST NEAR ME BEST CARDIOLOGIST IN NAGPUR CARDIOLOGIST IN NAGPUR CARDIOLOGIST NEAR ME HEART BLOCKAGE SPECIALIST DOCTOR IN NAGPUR BYPASS SURGERY SPECIALIST IN NAGPUR
