What is triple bypass
heart surgery?
Though it may sound like a completely different heart
surgery, triple bypass heart surgery is a type of open heart bypass surgery
only. It is called triple bypass because the number of grafts done in this
procedure are three. It is important to understand CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass
Graft) or heart bypass surgery first, to understand what triple heart bypass
surgery is.
The arteries that supply blood to the heart for its
functioning are called Coronary arteries. Any block in coronary artery may lead
to the disruption in the normal working (pumping of blood to the body) of the heart
and lead to a heart attack. The blockage
in the coronary arteries is referred to as coronary artery disease and if it is
severe, the blood flow to the heart can be completely stopped which can be
fatal.
This blockage can be treated by medicine alone if the
blockage is small, but if the blockage is severe, one would require a heart
bypass surgery or a CABG( Coronary Artery Bypass Graft). During a heart bypass
or CABG, a blood vessel is taken from some other part of the body, usually leg,
and grafted on the existing coronary artery before and after the blockage so that
the blood goes through that new route instead of the blocked passage thereby
bypassing the blocked coronary artery area.
It is usually the number of blocks that determine the number
of grafts to be used. If two blocks, it is called double bypass, if three- it
is called triple artery bypass, if four quadruple bypass.
Triple Heart Bypass surgery
procedure
The procedure is the same as CABG- the surgery is done under
general anesthesia and would take about 5-6 hours. You shall be observed in an
Intensive Care Unit for 24-48 hours after the surgery. You would then be
staying at the hospital for another 5-6 days to see you are progressing well.
Triple heart bypass-
is it more risky than CABG
Though this surgery definitely requires more time and thus
more anesthesia, it cannot be really said that it is more or less risky that
single heart bypass surgery. There are various parameters on which risk is to
be judged. A patient with a one heart bypass graft can be at more risk than
another patient who would require three bypass grafts.
Your cardiac surgeon can only tell you how risky the surgery
is for you based on your medical reports and physical condition and how useful
would the surgery be for you.
