PreOp® Coronary Artery Bypass CABG) Patient Education
http://www.PreOp.com
Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
Your doctor has recommended that you have coronary artery bypass surgery. But what does that actually mean?
Your heart is located in the center of your chest. It is surrounded by your rib cage and protected by your breastbone. Your heart's job is to keep blood continually circulating throughout your body.
The vessels that supply the body with oxygen-rich blood are called arteries.
The vessels that return blood to the heart are called veins.
Like any other muscle in the body, the heart depends on a steady supply of oxygen rich blood. The arteries that carry this blood supply to the heart muscle are called coronary arteries.
Sometimes, these blood vessels can narrow or become blocked by deposits of fat, cholesterol and other substances collectively known as plaque.
Over time, plaque deposits can narrow the vessels so much that normal blood flow is restricted. In some cases, the coronary artery becomes so narrow that the heart muscle itself is in danger.
Coronary bypass surgery attempts to correct this serious problem. In order to restore normal blood flow, the surgeon removes a portion of a blood vessel from the patient's leg or chest, most probably the left internal mammary artery and the saphenous vein.
Your doctor uses one or both of these vessels to bypass the old, diseased coronary artery and to build a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle. These transplanted vessels are called grafts and depending on your condition, your doctor may need to perform more than one coronary artery bypass graft.
Of course, operating on the heart is a complex and delicate process and in the case of bypass surgery, your doctor will most likely need to stop your heart before installing the graft.
During the time that your heart is not beating, a special machine, called a heart-lung machine, will take over the job of circulating and oxygenating your blood.
By using this machine, your doctor is able to repair the heart without interfering with the blood flow to the rest of the body.
Following surgery, your heart will be restarted and you will be disconnected from the heart-lung machine.

Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Dr. Joseph McGinn, an internationally renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, is the Medical Director of the Heart Institute of Staten Island and the Director of Cardiac Surgery at Staten Island University Hospital. Dr. McGinn is spearheading the way to a new era in CABG surgery
Dr. McGinn will conduct a live surgical web cast of a minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery (MICS CABG). A leading authority and pioneer in MICS CABG, Dr. McGinn has performed more than 350 MICS CABG procedures, averaging 3-4 cases per week.
With four cardiac surgeons, completing more than 4,000 heart surgeries since its founding in 2001, The Heart Institute of Staten Island is among New York State's top medical centers performing coronary artery bypass surgery. According to the New York State Department of Health, the Institute has attained this standing while accepting higher risk patients and still has the lowest mortality rate for open-heart surgery.
Worldwide, approximately 675,000 patients require some form of coronary artery bypass surgery each year. A majority of those patients are receiving arrested heart procedures, others beating heart procedures, and a growing number are receiving minimally invasive CABG procedures.

Awake Cardiac Surgery(Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting- CABG)
We are doing coronary artery bypass surgeries (CABG) under epidural anaesthesia. Patient remains concious during the surgery. Valve replacements and other open heart procedures are also done routinely without giving general anesthesia. This method avoides post operative ventilation, gives adequate analgesia in post operative period with stable hemodynamics. Our Team Members: Surgeons: Drs Shirish M Dhoble, Kshitij Dubey, Rajesh Kukreja, Sushil Jain. Anaesthesiologists: Drs Gagan Shrivastav, Subodh Chaturvedi. We are at Gokuldas Heart Hospital, Indore, MP, India. Contact +91 731 2519227 ext 785

Coronary Angioplasty - procedure to relieve a blocked artery
OR-Live.com webcast December 18, 2007 at 6:30 PM CST From St. Mary's Medical Center Duluth, MN
St. Mary's Duluth Clinic Heart Center in Duluth, MN, plans to broadcast a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also called a coronary angioplasty, live on the Internet. The webcast is slated for Tuesday, December 18, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. The public will be able to watch doctors use a minimally invasive procedure to relieve a blocked artery in the heart.
A member of the interventional cardiology team at the Heart Center will perform the live procedure. At the same time, two of their colleagues, interventional cardiologists Michael Lucca, MD, and Kathleen Braddy, MD, FACC, will help to explain the surgery and answer questions as they are e-mailed by viewers.
