About CABG with LV Aneurysm Repair

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) with Left Ventricular (LV) Aneurysm Repair is a complex, life-saving cardiac surgery performed to address two critical heart conditions simultaneously. The procedure involves grafting healthy blood vessels to bypass blocked coronary arteries, restoring blood flow to the heart muscle. Concurrently, the surgeon repairs a weakened, bulging area (aneurysm) of the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, which can occur after a major heart attack. This dual repair aims to relieve angina (chest pain), prevent heart failure, reduce the risk of dangerous blood clots, and significantly improve the heart's pumping efficiency and the patient's long-term prognosis. It is a major operation requiring a skilled multidisciplinary cardiac team.

Key Highlights

    Dual Benefit: Addresses both blocked arteries and a weakened heart wall in a single operation.Improves Heart Function: Enhances the pumping efficiency of the left ventricle, alleviating symptoms of heart failure.Reduces Stroke Risk: Repairing the aneurysm eliminates a potential source of blood clots that could travel to the brain.listrongRelieves Symptoms:/strong Effectively reduces chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and fatigue./lilistrongImproves Long-Term Survival:/strong Can significantly improve prognosis and quality of life for eligible patients./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Significant coronary artery disease requiring bypass, combined with a post-infarction (post-heart attack) left ventricular aneurysm.
  • Heart failure symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling) due to the aneurysm's impact on pumping efficiency.
  • Recurrent ventricular arrhythmias (dangerous heart rhythms) originating from the scarred aneurysm tissue.
  • Evidence of blood clots within the left ventricular aneurysm.
  • A large aneurysm that is progressively enlarging or causing significant distortion of the heart's shape and function.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive Cardiac Evaluation: Includes coronary angiography, echocardiogram, and possibly a cardiac MRI or CT scan to precisely map the aneurysm and blockages.
  • Medication Review: Adjusting or stopping certain blood thinners (e.g., warfarin, clopidogrel) as directed by the cardiac team.
  • Pre-operative Testing: Blood tests, chest X-ray, ECG, and assessments of lung and kidney function.
  • Lifestyle Adjustments: Smoking cessation is mandatory. Optimizing diet and managing other conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
  • Pre-admission Counseling: Meeting with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and cardiac rehabilitation team to discuss the procedure, risks, and recovery plan.

Risks & possible complications

  • General Surgical Risks: Bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
  • Cardiac-Specific Risks: Heart attack, stroke, irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), and low cardiac output syndrome.
  • Procedure-Related Risks: Graft failure, incomplete aneurysm repair, or injury to surrounding structures.
  • Post-Operative Complications: Kidney dysfunction, lung problems (atelectasis, pneumonia), and neurological issues.
  • Long-Term Considerations: Potential for recurrent angina, heart failure, or aneurysm recurrence, though the surgery aims to prevent these.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial Hospital Stay: 1-2 days in the Cardiac ICU followed by 5-7 days in a step-down unit for close monitoring of heart function, pain management, and wound care.
  • Early Mobilization: Gradual sitting up, standing, and walking with assistance begins within 1-2 days post-surgery to prevent complications.
  • Medication Regimen: Strict adherence to new prescriptions for blood thinners, cholesterol medications, blood pressure control, and possibly anti-arrhythmics.
  • Cardiac Rehabilitation: A structured, supervised program of exercise and education is crucial for strengthening the heart and body, typically starting a few weeks after discharge.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Permanent adoption of a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise as tolerated, stress management, and complete smoking cessation.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 7-10 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 8-12 weeks for initial recovery; 6 months for full recovery and return to normal activities

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of other doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. They said it was just stress. Dr. Babu Vinish actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my digestion. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle pieces.
