For some patients who routinely take a blood thinner prior to surgery, the dose of blood thinners that are typically taken each day is stopped at least 24 hours, and up to a week, prior to the surgery.

What to expect during CABG?
During CABG, a surgical team will take one or more blood vessels from another part of your body and create newer blood vessels to take blood into the heart.
ICU Stay, total hospital stay, stay near hospital, when can I fly back?
You'll usually need to stay in the hospital for around 7 days after having a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) so medical staff can closely monitor your recovery. ICU for 1-2 days.
During this time, you may be attached to various tubes, drips, and drains that provide you with fluids and allow blood and urine to drain away.
Those who have had a heart valve repair or replacement surgery or coronary artery bypass grafts (open heart surgery) can usually fly after 4 weeks.
Will I be able to smoke/ consume alcohol after surgery?
Smoking is absolutely prohibited post-surgery. Occasional and moderate drinking is generally allowed.
What to expect after CABG?
Recovering from a coronary artery bypass graft procedure takes time and everyone recovers at slightly different speeds.
Generally, you should be able to sit in a chair after 1 day, walk after 3 days, and walk up and downstairs after 5 or 6 days. Most people make a full recovery within 12 weeks of the operation.
I drink liquor frequently. Will i be able to drink normally after this surgery?
Occasional drinking post-CABG is acceptable. It is important for the patient to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Since coronary artery disease is a lifestyle disease and can very well be managed by a change in lifestyle post-surgery.
What are the risks of CABG?
Possible risks of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) include:
Bleeding during or after the surgery.
Blood clots that can cause heart attack, stroke, or lung problems.
Infection at the incision site.
Pneumonia.
Breathing problems.
Pancreatitis.
Kidney failure.
Abnormal heart rhythm
What are the latest technology and techniques available for CABG?
Minimally invasive surgery also called keyhole surgery.
Why am i not been offered Angioplasty as an alternative?
Bypass surgery is generally considered the better option in cases where the patient's arteries are blocked in multiple areas or where their left main coronary artery is narrowed.
Sometimes patients will prefer the less invasive angioplasty as they would like to resume work sooner.
Success rate of CABG?
CABG in today's world has become a very routine procedure. Most doctors we work with operate about 20-25 such patients every month. The success rate of CABG surgery is easily more than 95%.
If you are doing Minimally invasive surgery, does it offer same results as Open surgery or will the results be compromised because of this technique?
That is absolutely right. If your surgeon felt, he will not be able to achieve the desired results in minimally invasive surgery, he will not offer it in the first place.
Is it necessary to do open surgery, can it not be done through minimally invasive technique?
In most cases, minimally invasive surgery can be offered, but if your surgeon is insisting on open surgery, there have to be medical reasons for it.
You should clarify all such apprehensions during your clinical evaluation with the treating surgeon.
I am 70 years old, Is it safe for me to undergo this surgery?
Coronary artery disease is generally an old age problem and hence people of up to 70-75 years of age can safely undergo the procedure.
Where all the incisions be made on my body? Chest only? Chest and legs?
A series of small incisions are made between your ribs on the left side of your chest, directly over the artery to be bypassed. The incisions usually are about 3 inches long.
Taking veins from the legs has traditionally been done but with advanced techniques, doctors do it endoscopically and hence NO more cuts other than chest incision.
Can CABG be avoided?
The most important is that the need for bypass surgery arises as to the result of a preventable condition, namely, coronary artery disease.
If you take care of yourself, eat well, exercise and take heart-healthy supplements, the chances are good that you may be able to avoid a bypass.
