What is triple vessel disease?
This term is used in cardiology to denote significant blockages in three coronary arteries, often requiring stenting procedures (in order to hold the arteries open) or requiring triple coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Coronary artery bypass graft (using two arterial grafts)?
It is used when there is nearly complete or totally complete blockage in one or more coronary arteries (often after myocardial infarction/heart attack or coronary syndrome, in which there has been no loss of functioning heart muscle, but there has been significant chest pain along with functional decline).
How is Transluminal extraction coronary atherectomy performed?
uses a device that cuts plaque off vessel walls and vacuums it into a bottle. It is used to clear bypass grafts.
Why would a person need a heart bypass surgery?
There are blood vessels (coronary arteries) that feed the heart's cardiac muscle (myocardium) the oxygen it needs to continue pumping. If these vessels have some kind of blockage (i.e. heart disease), then the heart wouldn't have oxygen it needs to function, leading to heart failure and possible death. The heart bypass surgery is then done to fix this problem. By taking a part of another blood vessel in the body (usually great saphenous vein is used), and is grafted to the vessel causing the problem for the heart. And so, blood flow to the heart's important muscle is once again undisturbed.
What is the purpose for heart cauterization?
also called coronary angiogram, is a test to check your heart and coronary arteries. It is used to check blood flow in the coronary arteries , blood flow and blood pressure in the chambers of the heart , find out how well the heart valves work, and check for defects in the way the wall of the heart moves. In children, this test is used to check for heart problems that have been present since birth (congenital heart defect).
What is coronary artery bypass surgery used to help prevent?
reduce the need for coronary bypass surgery.
What body cavity would be used to perform coronary artery bypass surgery?
The thoracic cavity is used in order to perform CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) surgery.
What is the name of the procedure used to reroute blood around a clogged coronary artery?
We call this procedure a coronary bypass, or coronary bypass surgery.
What is the procedure code for coronary bypass graft with 2 venous and 1 arterial veins?
The procedure is called Coronary bypass surgery. The procedure code will depend on individual Hospitals, as this code is used for billing purpose, and may vary from region to region
What is bypassed in bypass?
A "bypass machine" bypasses the heart and pumps oxygenated blood around the body. It is used during open-heart surgery. A "coronary bypass" changes the route by which blood circulates to the heart. It is normally used when main blood vessels have become narrowed or blocked. This is what some people refer to as a "double bypass", "triple bypass", "quadruple bypass" etc... , depending on how many veins have to be re-routed. A "gastric bypass" (weight-loss surgery) involves a large section of the stomach and small intestine being bypassed, so that fewer calories can be absorbed.
Mr Rainey was experiencing angina pectoris His doctor suggested a surgical procedure that would require the removal of a vein from another region of his body This vein would then be used to bypass?
Coronary bypass surgery
What does a coronary stent do?
By forming a rigid support, the stent can prevent restenosis and reduce the need for coronary bypass surgery.
What is it meant when people say somebody has had a coronary?
They used to mean a coronary thrombosis - a blockage in the blood flow to the heart. This was/is also known as a heart attack.But, with advances in medical science they may be referring to a coronary bypass.... surgery to alter the flow of blood so as to avoid damaged blood vessels.
What is triple vessel disease?

How is bypass heart surgery done?
Heart bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass surgery, aims to replace damaged arteries in the heart. A surgeon uses blood vessels from another area of the body to repair the damaged arteries. This surgery is used when the coronary arteries become blocked or damaged. The coronary arteries supply the heart's muscles with oxygenated blood. If they are blocked or the flow of blood is restricted, the heart can't function properly. This can lead to heart failure
Often used in coronary artery bypass operations where is the great saphenous vein?
LEG
Do blood vessels from other parts of the body can be used to replace damage ones?
Yes. The most common is leg veins for coronary arteries.
