| It is an operation that is performed frequently by specialist heart surgeons. It used to be a big deal 30 years ago because the heart itself is stopped and the circulation is done via a machine while they do the op. I remember working in cardio thoracic surgery in the early 80s and thinking how amazing it was that patients recovered so well and so quickly after such a complex operation.
It is unfortunate that some people's arteries are just prone to furring up more than others despite them leading a healthy lifestyle. It's not fair is it? |
