Who is this surgery for?
- Severe blockages in multiple coronary arteries (multi-vessel coronary artery disease) alongside significant dysfunction (stenosis or regurgitation) in two heart valves.
- Symptomatic patients with angina, heart failure symptoms, or reduced heart function (ejection fraction) due to the combined pathologies.
- Failed management of symptoms with maximal medical therapy (medications) and/or less invasive interventions.
- To prevent irreversible heart damage, future cardiac events, or sudden cardiac death in eligible patients.
- Conditions like rheumatic heart disease or degenerative valve disease coinciding with advanced coronary artery disease.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Undergo detailed tests including echocardiogram, coronary angiogram, blood tests, and chest X-ray.
- Medical Optimization: Manage existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension; adjust current medications as advised (e.g., stopping blood thinners).
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Cease smoking completely and limit alcohol intake well before surgery.
- Pre-operative Counseling: Discuss the procedure, risks, and recovery in detail with the cardiac surgeon and anesthesiologist.
- Fasting: Fast (no food or drink) for 8-12 hours as instructed before the 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 low cardiac output syndrome.
- Valve-Related Complications: Residual valve leakage, valve dysfunction requiring re-operation, or infection (endocarditis).
- Graft-Related Issues: Blockage or failure of the bypass grafts over time.
- Other Risks: Kidney dysfunction, lung complications, blood clots, and, in rare cases, mortality.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial Hospital Stay: 1-2 days in the ICU followed by 5-7 days in a step-down unit for close monitoring of heart, lung, and wound healing.
- Pain Management: Medications will be provided to manage post-surgical pain and discomfort.
- Early Mobilization: Gradual sitting up, walking, and breathing exercises begin soon after surgery to prevent complications.
- Cardiac Rehabilitation: A structured program of supervised exercise, education, and counseling is crucial for full recovery.
- Long-Term Care: Lifelong medications (like blood thinners or statins), regular follow-ups, a heart-healthy diet, and gradual return to normal activities over 2-3 months.

Neha Williams, a 58-year-old high school...
Neha Williams, 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. Simple tasks like climbing stairs left her breathless and dizzy. She dismissed it as stress and menopause, but episodes of chest tightness and swelling in her ankles grew worse. A stress test and echocardiogram revealed severe triple-vessel coronary artery disease and a leaking mitral valve, exacerbated by untreated hypertension. Her cardiologist, Dr. Chen, explained that medication alone was no longer sufficient; she needed a CABG with double valve repair to prevent a major heart attack and heart failure. Terrified of the invasiveness and being away from her school and family, Neha felt her identity as a capable leader crumbling. The surgery was long, but successful. The first days in the ICU were a blur of pain and disorientation. However, within a week, she could walk the hospital corridors. Cardiac rehabilitation was grueling but became a source of pride. Six months later, she is back at work part-time, her color returned, and her breathing is easy. The emotional journey was from fear and denial to vulnerability in recovery, culminating in a deep gratitude for her surgical team and a renewed commitment to her health, viewing the surgery not as a failure but as a profound reset.
