FAQs
How do I know if I need heart surgery?
If your arteries are severely blocked, valves are damaged, or medications/angioplasty are not effective.
What is the difference between valve repair and replacement?
Repair preserves your own valve, while replacement uses a mechanical or tissue prosthetic valve.
How long does recovery from CABG take?
Most patients recover within 6–8 weeks with cardiac rehabilitation.
Are thoracic surgeries always open procedures?
Not always. Many chest surgeries can be performed with video-assisted or minimally invasive techniques.
Is bypass surgery permanent?
It provides long-term relief, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent future blockages.
