HEART RELATED PROCEDURES

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), which occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis). CABG restores normal blood flow to the heart by bypassing the blocked artery using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body. CABG is recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease (multiple blocked arteries), Left main coronary artery disease, which supplies blood to most of the heart, Fare angina (chest pain) that limits daily activities. risk of heart attack due to blocked arteries.

Hospital Stay: 5-7 days.

Initial Recovery: 6-12 weeks (gradual return to normal activities).

Heart valve replacement or repair is performed to treat malfunctioning heart valves that may be narrowed (stenosis) or leaking (regurgitation/insufficiency). The goal is to restore normal blood flow through the heart and prevent complications like heart failure.

Recovery

Hospital Stay: 5-10 days (longer for open-heart surgery).

Full Recovery: 6-12 weeks (faster for minimally invasive techniques).

Angioplasty and stent placement are procedures used to open blocked or narrowed arteries, primarily to treat coronary artery disease (CAD) and prevent heart attacks.

Recovery:

Hospital Stay: Usually, 1 day.

Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks with activity restrictions.

A heart transplant is a surgical procedure in which a diseased or failing heart is replaced with a healthy donor heart. It is typically performed in patients with end-stage heart failure or severe heart disease when other treatments, such as medications and less invasive surgeries, are no longer effective.

Post-Transplant Recovery

Hospital Stay: 2-3 weeks (initial monitoring for complications).
