What Are The Complications Of Bypass Surgery?

Hi. My dad s in Vietnam recently from what I can gather he needs a coronary heart bypass operation. I m really scared. Have no understanding of this illness. Would like to ask you what are the percentage of success of this procedure especially it been done in a third world country??? Will there be complication and what and how bad are they? Is there any way of flying back without having surgery? Can you please tell me more

Hello, welcome to health care magic.
Coronary bypass is done for Coronary artery disease, which menifests either as acute chest pains or chest pain at exertion. If your father is advised CABG theb
N he must be having triple vessel disease or left main disease. This surgery is safe anywhere with mortality as low as 2 % . If he is not much symptomatic then he can fly out and have surgery at your home place.
