How long do people who have heart bypass surgery live?

With the development of science and technology, heart bypass surgery.

has become a heart attack.

A routine for patients**, but some people are afraid of spending a lot of money to do this kind of surgery, but they still can't live for a long time, which is equivalent to a bamboo basket for water, whether to do this kind of surgery or not? Many patients are very entangled in their hearts, and today I will answer this question.

Each patient's condition is different, and the effect of surgery cannot be generalized, and most people can still live for more than ten to 30 years after heart bypass surgery. Only a small number of patients have undergone surgery and die quickly, but this probability is very small, so according to this result, heart bypass surgery is still very effective, and the value of this money should be followed by the doctor's advice.

Follow your doctor's advice for surgery.

In the intensive care unit.

After a period of monitoring, the patient can be discharged from the hospital, but discharge does not mean complete recovery. After the operation, you should take medicine for a long time**, develop good living habits, quit smoking and alcohol, and eat a diet with less oil, less salt and less sugar. In addition, the most important thing is to rest well, not stay up late, and maintain a good healthy mindset.

Regular check-ups are also a very important thing, and it is necessary to monitor the physical condition of the heart bypass at all times to protect the heart.

Heart bypass is actually an ordinary oneSurgerySimply put, it is a graft surgery in which blood vessels from other parts of the body are grafted into the diseased heart and the heart continues to work. Cardiac stent is a kind of medical surgery, its principle is to open up the blocked road through surgery, erect the stent, let the blood flow normally, so that the heart can return to a healthy level of exercise. Both work differently, but both aim for the health of the heart, and there is no good or bad between the two, but it is to be chosen according to the specific situation of the patient.

How long can you use after heart bypass surgery (how long does coronary heart disease not **) is related to the severity of coronary heart disease, the rate of progression of coronary atherosclerosis, and the degree of control of coronary heart disease risk factors.

Cardiac bypass surgery is generally to take the patient's own saphenous vein and internal mammary artery to establish a vascular channel at the site of coronary artery stenosis to improve hypoxia and ischemia, thereby reducing the onset of myocardial ischemia in coronary heart disease. Having heart bypass surgery does not mean that coronary heart disease is already in progress. Bypass surgery is a palliative rather than a cure, which only temporarily solves some severe vascular stenosis, relieves myocardial ischemia, improves symptoms, and reduces the risk of sudden death. But coronary heart disease still exists.

If the risk factors of coronary heart disease are not effectively controlled, obesity, smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, etc. will not only make the coronary atherosclerosis continue to progress, but also cause atherosclerotic stenosis of the graft vessels, that is, the internal mammary artery; Therefore, it is necessary to continue to take medication after bypass surgery. If these risk factors are well controlled, then atherosclerosis progression slows; Coupled with good and healthy living habits and open-minded and optimistic psychological quality, it is possible for patients to survive for another twenty or thirty years after bypassing. Conversely, poorly controlled risk factors shorten survival.

Each patient after heart bypass grafting has a different condition and the development of the disease is different. Lifespan cannot be generalized either. The survival time should be comprehensively considered with the number of preoperative coronary lesions, the degree of stenosis, the distal patency of the lesion, the morphological changes of the heart, the presence or absence of myocardial infarction and the area of infarction, the presence or absence of complications, and the patency after bypass.

If the maintenance is better, then the life will be longer, if you do not do a good job of maintenance after the operation, often get angry, or often do strenuous exercise, then the life will be very short.

The life expectancy after heart bypass surgery is not fixed, according to relevant data, after surgery, the probability of surviving to the 12th year is more than 65%, and the probability of surviving to the 18th year is more than 45%. There are also some patients who will eventually die of coronary heart disease, the probability is about 50%, and the specific survival time depends on many factors.

The lifespan of a patient after heart bypass surgery is uncertain. During the perioperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting, some patients die. Some patients live for one year, some for three years, some for five years, some for 10 years, some for 20 years or more, and some die of non-coronary heart disease.

<> survival time after cardiac bypass grafting should be comprehensively considered according to the number of preoperative coronary lesions, the degree of stenosis, the degree of distal patency of the lesion, the change of heart morphology, myocardial infarction and infarction area, complications, and the degree of patency after bypass. and postoperative patient maintenance.

The life of the postoperative patient will be related to the following factors:

The first is the lesion of coronary heart disease itself. The more severe the preoperative lesion, the more severe the coronary artery occlusion, the higher the surgical risk, and the greater the probability of postoperative complications.

Second, whether there are complications. For example, if patients have high blood pressure, diabetes, emphysema, renal failure, etc., if the patient is comorbid, the heart load will increase, and the probability of postoperative complications will also increase.

The third is to see which grafts are used during the surgery. In general, patients will have better long-term outcomes if arteries are used as bridging vessels.

In general, the patency rate of bridging vessels is about 90% -95% for about 5 years after surgery, and about 70% -80% for 10 years after surgery. The three factors I mentioned above are all uncontrollable, but if you go to the hospital regularly for follow-up check-ups after surgery and take the medications prescribed by the doctor on time, you can improve the life of patients after heart bypass surgery. Therefore, it is very important for every postoperative patient to take their medication on time and review on time.

Normally, it does not affect the lifespan and can survive for decades. Heart bypass surgery is a major surgery that requires a thoracotomy to establish cardiopulmonary bypass.

Therefore, postoperative care is very important for patients. Generally, it takes 3 months to 6 months to return to normal physical condition. During this period, regular follow-up visits should be conducted, nitrates and calcium channel blockers should be used as directed by the doctor, and antiplatelet aggregating drugs such as aspirin should be continued.

In daily life, it is necessary to avoid angina pectoris, and to prevent postoperative complications of pericardial effusion, which may cause an inflammatory reaction, so it is necessary to return to the hospital regularly for follow-up examinations half a year after discharge to avoid dangerous complications that may affect their lives.

Heart bypass surgery is a very common method in heart disease. After this surgery, the survival time of patients is about 12 to 30 years, and the survival time of older patients after surgery is about 5 to 8 years. However, the specific time needs to be judged according to the individual's physical condition, but after the operation, if the patient wants to prolong his life, he needs to take medicine on time, pay attention to diet control, and pay attention to exercise.

Some professionals say that after heart surgery, you can generally live about 12 to 30 years longer. The main basis is the patient's own physical condition, if the physical condition is better, then the life expectancy will be longer.

You should be able to live for about a few years, depending on the patient's condition. Bypass surgery can alleviate the condition of the disease, and can also carry out basic treatment, which can alleviate the disease of the heart, and can also cause complications, so that the heart can be effectively restored, and it can also prolong life.

Heart bypass surgery is an operation that everyone has heard of, but after this operation, can it be the same as a normal person? I believe that this question is what many patients want to know, so let's follow along to understand this problem.

Is it possible to do it once and for all after heart bypass surgery?

Before understanding this problem, we need to understand that most heart bypass surgeries are caused by coronary heart disease.

And how is coronary heart disease caused? The organs in our body need blood all the time, and they need to provide oxygen and nutrients through blood circulation, and at the same time metabolize some harmful substances and carbon dioxide out of the body with blood circulation. The same is true for the heart, which needs to be supplied with blood through blood vessels.

Under the combined effect of a series of factors such as age, smoking, and three highs, several major arteries in our body are prone to arteriosclerosis. As a result, the heart cannot receive sufficient blood supply, resulting in coronary heart disease.

Heart bypass surgery is to artificially place a blood vessel in the narrowed part of the artery so that blood circulation can proceed normally. However, this is actually a palliative rather than a cure, and some factors that cause coronary heart disease still exist.

Heart bypass surgery only temporarily alleviates the lack of blood supply to the heart, if you continue to live as before, it will continue to cause coronary heart disease, and most patients still need to take medication to control it after this surgery.

In life, how can we prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease?

1. Diet control.

In life, we must learn to control our diet and minimize the intake of high-fat, high-calorie and high-sugar foods.

Because the causes of coronary heart disease are usually caused by the intensification of arteriosclerosis in the body, the increase in blood lipids, and the viscosity of the blood. These factors are inseparable from daily diet, so it is necessary to reduce the intake of these foods as much as possible. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and low-calorie, low-fat foods every day.

2. Keep exercising.

Exercise is the best way to prevent disease, and exercise is a convenient thing to do. Walking in daily life is also a kind of exercise, for some middle-aged and elderly people whose physique is not as good as that of young people. You can choose to walk more every day, which is very good for physical and mental health.

It can effectively prevent the occurrence of many diseases, and coronary heart disease is also one of them.

3. Emotional conditioning.

We should maintain a good attitude in life and not get angry and angry about everything. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, anger will cause blood pressure to rise sharply, which is very bad for physical health. It is easy to induce heart problems, so it is important to avoid this phenomenon.
