Coronary Bypass Surgery

Coronary artery bypass surgery is defined as the reestablishment of blood flow by connecting new vessels to the non-transportable blood region of the heart muscle. The characteristics of the vessels used in coronary bypass operations are the most important factor determining the duration of the surgery. Vessels taken from the leg may deteriorate earlier, while bypasses using breast arteries are known to remain open for too long. Bypass bypassing of the breast arteries provides great advantages for the appropriate patients. In bypass operations, arteries obtained from the arm are also used successfully.



In the coronary bypass operations performed at Liv Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic, the operation strategies that will maintain coronary patency for the longest period are determined. Therefore, chest arteries with the lowest likelihood of obstruction are commonly used. At least one chest artery was used in 98% of the patients. In 41%, bilateral (bilateral) thoracic artery was used; When the total of the vessels that were bypassed were examined, the chest artery was preferred in 60% of the cases.

Cardiovascular Surgery In our clinic, a 10-year success in the bypass surgery with coronary artery vein (open vessel vein rate) is 97% in the literature. Successful implementation of chest artery use (known as the gold standard) in the Liv Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic is performed successfully (bypassing a thoracic artery to more than one coronary artery). In addition, bypass operations are performed in appropriate patients either with small incisions or with a robotic approach
