Bypass Heart Surgery: Restoring Blood Flow, Saving Lives
A proven treatment for severe heart blockages, giving patients a second chance at life
Bypassing heart surgery refers to avoiding traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by using alternative, less invasive treatments to manage blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. These alternatives may include medications, lifestyle changes, angioplasty with stent placement, or therapies like Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP), depending on the severity and location of the artery blockages. While bypass surgery is often recommended for patients with multiple or complex blockages—especially those involving the left main artery or those with diabetes—some individuals may be able to manage their condition effectively without surgery. The decision to bypass surgery should be made in consultation with a cardiologist, based on detailed imaging, symptoms, and overall health status, to ensure the chosen approach is both safe and effective.
What are the Types of Bypass Heart Surgery
1. Single Bypass
One coronary artery is bypassed.
Used when only one artery is blocked.
2. Double Bypass Two coronary arteries are bypassed. Common for moderate coronary artery disease.
3. Triple Bypass Three arteries are bypassed. Indicates more extensive coronary disease.
4. Quadruple Bypass Four arteries are bypassed. Most complex, used when multiple major arteries are severely blocked.

What are the most common heart defects in children that require surgery?
The most common congenital heart defects needing surgery include:
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) These conditions affect normal blood flow and may require surgical correction depending on their severity.
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) These conditions affect normal blood flow and may require surgical correction depending on their severity.
At what age can a child undergo heart surgery?
The timing depends on the specific defect and the child’s condition. Some surgeries are performed within days or weeks after birth, especially for critical defects, while others can be delayed until early childhood or later, depending on symptoms and heart function.
Are there risks involved in heart bypass surgery?
Like any major surgery, there are risks such as bleeding, infection, stroke, or heart rhythm problems. However, it is generally considered safe and effective, especially when performed by experienced surgeons like Dr. Jai Bhagwan Dhull.
Will I need to take medication after bypass surgery?
Yes. Post-surgery, patients are usually prescribed medications to prevent blood clots, lower cholesterol, and manage blood pressure. Lifelong lifestyle changes and follow-ups are also crucial for long-term success.
