Takeaways

• 😀 Bypass surgery is performed to treat coronary artery disease by bypassing blocked arteries to ensure better blood flow to the heart.
• 😀 The procedure uses healthy blood vessels from the patient's own body (e.g., legs, chest) to create bypasses around blockages in the coronary arteries.
• 😀 Bypass surgery is recommended when there are multiple blockages or if other treatments, like stents, are ineffective.
• 😀 Diabetes patients with severe coronary artery blockages are advised to undergo bypass surgery to prevent further complications.
• 😀 Contrary to popular belief, the heart is not removed during surgery; it remains in place while bypass pathways are created.
• 😀 The success rate of bypass surgery at Harapan Kita Hospital is approximately 97-98%, although the rate may decrease in older patients or those with poor heart function.
• 😀 On average, Harapan Kita Hospital performs 10 to 12 surgeries daily, with 70% of those being bypass surgeries.
• 😀 Recovery time after bypass surgery has significantly improved, with patients typically discharged within 5 to 7 days, as opposed to longer stays in the past.
• 😀 Post-surgery recovery includes physiotherapy and gradual reintroduction to physical activity (e.g., walking 30-40 minutes, 2-3 times a week).
• 😀 Effective post-surgery care is crucial for long-term recovery, including medication management, healthy lifestyle, and regular exercise.
• 😀 While bypass surgery effectively alleviates chest pain and shortness of breath, the underlying heart disease may cause symptoms to reoccur after several years.

Q & A

What is the success rate for heart bypass surgery at Harapan Kita Hospital?

The success rate for heart bypass surgery at Harapan Kita Hospital is 97%, meaning 97 out of 100 patients undergo successful operations.

What is the process of heart bypass surgery?

Heart bypass surgery involves creating new blood vessels to bypass blocked arteries, allowing better blood flow to the heart. This is done using healthy blood vessels from the legs or chest, and the heart itself remains inside the body throughout the procedure.

When is heart bypass surgery recommended?

Bypass surgery is recommended when there are multiple blockages in the coronary arteries, especially if all three major arteries are blocked or if the patient has diabetes. It is also considered when other treatments like stents or medication are insufficient.

How many heart bypass surgeries does Harapan Kita Hospital perform daily?

Harapan Kita Hospital performs 10 to 12 heart surgeries per day, with about 70% of them being bypass surgeries, which amounts to 7 to 8 bypass surgeries daily.

What are the risks of heart bypass surgery?

Like any surgery, heart bypass surgery carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and complications from anesthesia. However, the procedure is generally safe with a high success rate, particularly when performed on healthy patients.

How long does recovery from heart bypass surgery take?

After heart bypass surgery, patients are typically expected to stay in the hospital for 5 to 7 days. While they may feel weak and unable to engage in normal activities, recovery generally improves over time with rest and gradual physical activity.

Can patients fully recover after heart bypass surgery?

Although the immediate symptoms, such as chest pain and shortness of breath, usually improve after surgery, patients may experience recurring symptoms years later due to the natural progression of their heart disease. Long-term health is maintained through medication, lifestyle changes, and regular check-ups.

What post-surgery care is recommended to ensure a good recovery?

Post-surgery care includes taking prescribed medications, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and controlled blood sugar, and engaging in regular physical activities like walking for 30 to 40 minutes two to three times a week.

What role does physiotherapy play in heart bypass surgery recovery?

Physiotherapy plays an essential role in heart bypass recovery by helping patients regain their strength and improve heart function. Regular physiotherapy sessions, typically 1 to 2 hours long, are scheduled to aid in gradual recovery.

How does lifestyle affect the long-term success of heart bypass surgery?

Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and controlling risk factors like high blood sugar, are crucial for the long-term success of heart bypass surgery. These factors help reduce the risk of further heart issues and maintain overall heart health.
