coronary artery bypass surgery in Iran at Erfan Hospital

If your doctor tells you that you need a coronary artery bypass operation on your heart, you’ve probably got a lot of questions.

Your coronary arteries supply your heart muscle with blood. If they have too much plaque built up in them, it can narrow or even block your blood from passing through. If your heart can’t get enough blood or oxygen, you can have a heart attack.

If your coronary arteries are dangerously blocked, your doctor may recommend an operation to get around, or “bypass” the blockage. It’s like taking an alternate route when your usual ride home is clogged up by traffic. The operation builds that bypass.

You’ll still need a healthy diet, exercise, and probably medicine to prevent another blockage. But first, you’ll want to know what to expect from the surgery, how to prepare, what complications can happen, and what the recovery is like.
