Heart Bypass

[Superjay]

Me aul fella hasn't been doing great over the last few years but in recent months he's got worse.

 

Over the past 15 weeks he's had 5 stents put into his heart and although they have been making some difference he is still breathless and in pain. Today the docs have told him that it looks like the 1 dead artery is the main problem and needs a bypass.

 

I've been on all the heart websites etc. trying to get some idea of the risk involved and how likely/unlikely it is for anything to go wrong. With no joy.

 

He's 55

Not obese but does a have a little weight on him.

Hasn't smoked in decades.

 

Anyone have any idea the risks etc.?

 

Proper bittersweet day this for our family.
