Heart bypass surgery or coronary Artery bypass surgery is recommended for patients when the coronary arteries become blocked or damaged with calcium and fatty deposits and when the blockage is too severe to be managed with medication or other treatment.If they are blocked or the flow of blood is restricted, the heart cannot function properly. This can lead to heart failure and you may experience pain in the chest. Diabetes, emphysema, kidney disease, and Peripheral Artery Disease can complicate the surgery. CABG risks differ from person to person, depending on the severity of heart disease, type of operation, age, and the current state of health.Some CABG risks include fever,wound infection,bleeding,memory loss,pulmonary problems.For more refer Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Kerala.
