Can bypass surgery help cure heart disease?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

The patient is a 62-year-old male. He complained of pain in the chest and became unconscious following sweating. We have been advised to do bypass surgery to cure the disease. My father has never had any heart issues so far, and now it is a shock to us. Last year, too, he had some chest pain, but all the tests came out to be normal. He is currently in September. I have attached the laboratory reports for your reference. Before we make a decision on whether to go for bypass surgery, we would like to have expert advice.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I got an idea from the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity) that the patient is having severe blockages in coronary arteries. These blockages were gradually progressed over the years to the present state. If diabetic, the patient may not get any significant chest pain. He might have tolerated mild intensity pain or chest discomfort due to these blocks to date. Now, the discomfort might be intolerable, so he got diagnosed. Surgical revascularization means bypass surgery, and it will be an ideal option for him. We need to check his fitness for surgery and prognosticate the further course prior to surgery.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
