About CABG with Ring Annuloplasty
Key Highlights
-
Dual Benefit: Addresses both blocked arteries and a leaky heart valve in one surgery.Improved Heart Function: Restores blood flow to the heart muscle and corrects valve leakage, enhancing overall cardiac output.Symptom Relief: Alleviates chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention.listrongLong-Term Survival:/strong Can significantly improve prognosis and life expectancy for patients with combined conditions./lilistrongSingle Recovery Period:/strong Combines the recovery for two major issues, potentially reducing overall hospital stays compared to staged procedures./li/ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Severe coronary artery disease (multiple blockages) combined with significant mitral or tricuspid valve regurgitation (leakage).
- Patients with ischemic heart disease who have developed valve dysfunction due to heart enlargement or damage.
- Symptomatic patients (angina, heart failure symptoms) where both conditions are contributing to poor health.
- When valve repair (annuloplasty) is feasible and preferred over valve replacement.
- To prevent future heart failure and hospitalizations by comprehensively treating the underlying structural problems.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Undergo cardiac catheterization (angiogram), echocardiogram, blood tests, chest X-ray, and possibly a CT scan.
- Medical Optimization: Adjust current heart medications (like blood thinners which may need to be stopped) and manage conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
- Pre-operative Counseling: Detailed discussion with the cardiac surgeon and anesthesiologist about the procedure, risks, and recovery.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Cease smoking, maintain a heart-healthy diet, and may begin light breathing exercises.
- Logistical Planning: Arrange for help at home post-discharge, pack for a hospital stay, and fast as instructed (typically 8-12 hours before surgery).
Risks & possible complications
- General Surgical Risks: Bleeding, infection at the incision site, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Cardiac-Specific Risks: Heart attack, stroke, irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), or failure of the grafts or valve repair.
- Organ Dysfunction: Temporary or permanent kidney problems, lung complications, or neurological issues.
- Procedure-Related: Blood clot formation, need for a pacemaker, or persistent valve leakage requiring re-operation.
- Recovery Challenges: Pain, sternum (breastbone) healing issues, and risks associated with prolonged hospitalization like pneumonia.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial Hospital Stay (ICU & Ward): 1-2 days in ICU for close monitoring, followed by 5-7 days in a regular ward. Focus is on pain management, breathing exercises, and gradual mobilization.
- Wound Care: Keep the chest incision clean and dry. Report any signs of redness, swelling, or discharge immediately.
- Activity Graduation: Avoid lifting heavy objects (>5-10 kg) or driving for 6-8 weeks. Walking is encouraged and increased gradually.
- Cardiac Rehabilitation: A structured program of exercise, education, and counseling is crucial for optimal long-term recovery.
- Follow-up & Medications: Regular check-ups with the cardiologist and surgeon. Lifelong medications typically include blood thinners (aspirin/anticoagulants), statins, and beta-blockers.

Navya Garcia, a 58-year-old high school...
Navya Garcia, a 58-year-old high school principal and mother of three, had always been active but began noticing a profound decline in her energy over two years. She was diagnosed with severe mitral valve regurgitation and multi-vessel coronary artery disease. Simple tasks like climbing stairs or leading school assemblies left her breathless and with crushing chest pain. Her cardiologist explained that her leaky valve was straining her heart, and the blocked arteries were starving it of blood. He recommended a combined CABG with Ring Annuloplasty to bypass the blockages and repair the valve, preventing future heart failure. The surgery was daunting, but Navya focused on her goal: returning to her students and family. The recovery in the Cardiac ICU was challenging, with pain and fatigue, but each day she grew stronger with cardiac rehab. Six months post-op, she walks two miles daily, has returned to work part-time, and enjoys gardening without pain. Emotionally, she moved from a state of fear and frustration about her limitations to immense gratitude and a renewed commitment to her health, cherishing her 'second chance' with deep appreciation.
