- Patients who are not suitable candidates for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI/angioplasty).
How to prepare
- Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including cardiac catheterization (angiogram) to map blockages.
- Advanced imaging like CT angiography to assess the relationship of the heart to the sternum and old grafts.

- Higher incidence of stroke, kidney injury, or lung complications.
- Risk of infection in the chest (mediastinitis) or leg/arm incision sites.
- Potential for heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias) requiring treatment.
- Risk of mortality, which is higher than for a first-time CABG.
Recovery & hospital stay

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
