Our medical staff at MGM hospital supports to evaluating the following causes of bypass surgery:

• Coronary artery bypass surgery is performed on people who suffer from severe CAD
  • The coronary arteries lie on the heart's surface.
  • The most common cause of a partial blockage is cholesterol and fat deposits on the inner walls of the coronary arteries.

The following possible risks with bypass surgery are minimised at our MGM hospital:

• Bleeding.
• Death.
• Heart attack due to a blood clot after surgery.
• Infection at the site of the chest wound.
• Long-term need for a breathing machine.
• Irregular heart rhythms, called arrhythmias.
• Kidney problems.
• Memory loss or trouble thinking clearly, which often is temporary.
• Stroke.

At our MGM hospital, all precautions are followed during the surgery:

• Coronary artery bypass surgery is an open-heart procedure. The person is placed under general anesthetic.
• Once the heart-lung machine has taken over for the heart, the surgeon will clamp the aorta (a major artery taking blood from the heart to the rest of the body).
• Once the grafting is finished, the person is taken off the heart-lung machine.
• New techniques of bypass surgery may be used in some cases.
• After surgery, all patients will need to continue taking medications that decrease the work of the heart and reduce the risk of future heart attacks
