Heart Bypass Surgery in Iran

Procedure for heart bypass surgery:

Open heart surgery should be performed in a sterile environment in the operating room, this surgery is performed in two ways:

In the classic open heart operation, the chest opens and vascular repair and transplantation are performed.

In closed heart surgery, several holes are made in the chest through which a vascular transplant is performed.

In heart bypass surgery, a vessel (suffon vein) is removed from the leg and one side is attached to the aorta and the other side to the blocked site where blood supply is restricted. In each operation, 2 to 4 vessels can be transplanted. Venous heart bonds last about 5 to 10 years, after which 50 percent of them are blocked again, and after 10 to 15 years, about 15 percent of these veins stay open. But the heart can easily tolerate these blockages and, if necessary, angioplasty can be used and there is no need for a re-operation of the heart.

Arteries can also be used (hand artery) and chest (LIMA) and because they have thicker walls, they are more suitable for transplantation, more for left descending heart artery (LAD) artery is used and veins can be used for other vessels.

In open heart surgery, two methods are performed which require pumping for circulation of blood flow. (In fact, a type of artificial heart during heart surgery) and another method does not require this pump. This pump is responsible for circulation and oxygen supply.
