Invasive procedure
Bypass Surgery
a road destined to close
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG):
Coronary artery bypass surgery is another
expensive surgical procedure which is a more
extensive, mutilating and aggressive process of
temporary solution to coronary artery disease. In
this operation, the chest is opened in the centre
in front. Blood vessels from the leg are surgically
removed and used to bypass the coronary
arteries.
Complications of CABG
1. Respiratory complications
Alveolar dysfunction
Pulmonary oedema
Infection
Phrenic nerve injury
Prolonged ventilatory insufficiency
2. Post – operative hypertension
3. Heart attack (myocardial infarction) during
operation
4. Cardiogenic shock
5. Left ventricular failure
6. Cardiac tamponade
7. Septic shock
8. Arrhythmias
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial flutter
Ventricular fibrillation
9. Blood clotting disorders
10. Wound infection, non-healing of wound
11. Peripheral vascular complications
12. Rental failure
13. Gastro-intestinal complications
Bleeding in the stomach, duodenum, shock
liver syndrome
14. Reblockages
15. Damage the brain during the heart – lung
machine running the blood supply to the
brain.
