Key Highlights
-
Targets the root inflammatory or autoimmune cause of atherosclerosis, not just symptoms.Utilizes advanced diagnostic tools like specific antibody panels and molecular imaging for precise evaluation.Enables a personalized treatment plan that may include immunomodulatory therapies alongside standard care.liCan be crucial for patients with strongrapidly progressing/strong or unexplained cardiovascular disease./liliManaged by cardiologists often in collaboration with strongrheumatologists or immunologists/strong for comprehensive care./li/ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Unexplained, premature, or rapidly progressive atherosclerosis despite controlled traditional risk factors (e.g., normal cholesterol).
- Patients with established autoimmune diseases (e.g., Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis) presenting with significant cardiovascular involvement.
- Recurrent cardiovascular events (like heart attacks or strokes) without clear causative blockages.
- Evidence of high systemic inflammation (e.g., persistently elevated hs-CRP) linked to vascular disease.
- Family history of autoimmune conditions coupled with early-onset heart disease.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive review of medical history, including any known autoimmune disorders.
- Detailed blood work to assess standard lipid profiles, inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, ESR), and autoimmune antibodies.
- Advanced cardiac imaging, such as a CT angiography or cardiac MRI, to assess plaque burden and characteristics.
- Consultation and possible co-management planning with a rheumatologist or clinical immunologist.
- Discussion of current medications, as some may need adjustment before starting new therapies.
Risks & possible complications
- Potential side effects from immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory medications, including increased infection risk.
- Risks associated with diagnostic procedures like angiography or biopsy (bleeding, infection, reaction to contrast dye).
- Complexity of managing two chronic conditions (autoimmune disease and heart disease) simultaneously.
- Possible drug interactions between cardiac and autoimmune therapies.
- Emotional and psychological impact of managing a complex, chronic inflammatory condition.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is primarily related to any invasive diagnostic procedures performed; otherwise, it's a long-term management process.
- Strict adherence to the personalized medication regimen, which may include statins, anti-inflammatories, or biologics.
- Regular monitoring through blood tests to track inflammation levels, autoimmune activity, and medication side effects.
- Implementation of sustained heart-healthy lifestyle changes: anti-inflammatory diet, regular exercise, stress management, and smoking cessation.
- Frequent follow-up appointments with both the cardiologist and rheumatologist/immunologist to adjust treatment as needed.
-
Typical hospital stay:

Ayaan Iyer, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Ayaan Iyer, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been active and health-conscious. His world turned when he began experiencing crushing chest pain and profound fatigue during his morning runs. Despite a strict vegetarian diet and no family history of early heart disease, tests revealed severe blockages. His cardiologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that Ayaan had an aggressive, autoimmune form of atherosclerosis where his immune system was attacking the lining of his arteries, accelerating plaque buildup. The recommendation was an urgent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) to restore blood flow, combined with a plan for immunosuppressive therapy. The surgery was daunting; Ayaan felt fear for his future and guilt over potentially leaving his family. Post-procedure, his recovery in the ICU was slow but steady. Six months later, on a new regimen of medications, he can walk his children to school without pain. The emotional journey was from terror and confusion to cautious optimism; he now sees himself not as a victim of bad luck, but as a patient managing a chronic condition, empowered to advocate for his health.
