The Anatomy of a Triple Bypass

[folknhairy]

As did my father just this past Monday...and he's already home.. 66 year old man.. ..life of poor diet.. hog meat ad nauseum. eeek. Much much better today. Fascinating to see all of this.

thanks for the upload. this will be shown to him..and oh. that nasty bag of hog meat skins have been removed from his house....now comes the hard part.... cabinets filled with heart killing food will be replaced.. fingers crossed all goes well with that.

[andiekins1]

Amazing. St. Michael's Hospital is AMAZING! They take care of my father and we are so lucky to have this hospital in Toronto!

[rickyeguizabal]

my stepfather got this surgery and did not survive, I guess is just luck.

[093darkknight]

Are surgeons always this sexy?!?!?!

[093darkknight]

OMG! This is like porn to me. I'm applying to medical school this year, I'm very set on being a cardiothoracic surgeon. REALLY HOPE I GET IN!!

[4745jay]

im about to have that for a left coronary abnormality which im told is vary vary rare. im skared as hell going into it but i trust my surgeon with it. its just the recovery that im whorryed about. i have no blockages of any kind but the blood is beeing pushed back up into the left lad

[DenniszVideos]

ouuch!

[1234uz]

I had Triple Bypass in May 2010 and they did it Off Pump never stopping my heart and they also used the New Procedure to Harvest the Leg Vein which I am grateful for. I have the the highest respect for all those who perform these Life Saving Procedures on a daily basis. Thank You for your Skill and Caring

[thehitman736]

why put water on the heart before finishing the operation?

[BlueJess0821]

@thehitman736 it depends on what he is doing but often times it cleanses the area so he can see what he is working with clearly and distinctly. I know it looks like water but looks are decieving, (typically with the heart it will be a saline solution not just plain water) that way it helps solve issues instead of causing them. :D

[thehitman736]

@BlueJess0821 thank you for the explanation! :D

[Kellyis17]

My 80 year old grandfather just had this done today- a triple bypass. Took only around roughly 3 hours earlier than expected. He's doing well still on a breathing tube and stable and everything seems to be running very smoothly. I hope he pulls through with this. He's strong and I just can't bear the thought of loosing him.

[micistan]

i like the part when the doctor pours water in patient's chest

[xtjax]

Funny how it takes huge machines to take the load of such a small organ.

[XshannonXluvsXya]

My dad got this done, and they fucked it up , and he got mrsa and he has a scar all the way up his leg , and a big chunk gone out of his leg, he got it done 2 years ago , and his legs is still swollen and severly sore, :(

[audreymilan]

Stroke is the least possible complication that may happen in a patient undergoing cabg procedure. What are the possible causes for stroke to happen? And who is responsible

[csmflame]

I had a double bypass June 08, at Johns Hopkins. I was in the hospital 30 days. I died and they brought me back, I had a total of 5 surgeries. I was very critical, but I am alive today and doing great. It is weird to see this video and know this is what I went through

[wrw28405]

My girlfriend's grandfather recently had a quintuple bypass. It was a surprise surgery - he went for a test one day, was hospitalized the next, and surgery began 6:00 AM the next morning. It was an odd thing going from walking around with him, with no problems, in the hot sun on a regular florida day. He's not even 60. And then he's under. My girlfriend has now decided to be a heart surgeon over her original intent on being a music teacher, and it's interesting to see what she'll be doing.

[JohnGrote]

im 15 and my father is 44 he has heart problems its genetic so i can have the same problems he has

[bigggyd]

My grandpa has one in about a week and a half, I hope he's okay. After watching this video i'm a bit more hopeful though.

[harleyjim1st]

I had this operation 11 years ago and I am doing very well and living a full life. Thank God for the surgens who can do this wonderful procedure. They gave me a new life when I had none left !

[Incredbel18]

My mom had an heart attack, and required this. She's still recovering.

[Whitemoon379]

my dad is gonna have 1 friday

[acl19761]

My father just had quadruple bypass surgery Feb 12th, 2011 at Hamilton General in Hamilton, ON. What an amazing time we live in that these operations can be performed and save lives that would have otherwise been lost. Just amazing

[sofiaclindiet]

Cardiac surgery is the most difficult and stressful medical specialty...On the other hand, there is nothing more important than saving a human life...

[RobertPattinsonamber]

My uncle Dave had one

[zsteele11]

This was very educational and very hepful.

[simpletorie]

My Grandpa just had one of these. He's okay.

[USStateSponTerrorism]

I don't see any problem with doctors like these doing the surgery, obviously they have a lot of experience - but I have been in the lab when INTERNS came in desperate because the morons were doing surgery and the patient started bleeding internally and they couldn't find where the blood was coming from! They did things like this several times and it appeared to me to be extremely irresponsible of the senior doctors to allow these interns to operate like this without proper supervision!

[TheRunescapefan3]

this is amazing! :D i cant believe that we are able to access this technology these days :3

[Fahasha]

r Only few accomplish such highltraining which neds not only hard work but better part of your precuious life span u r own life living like a hermit for you patient always oncall no time for family relaxation as much as other people like him inother profession Medical study is veery expensive requires intelligence scholorship supporting and undertanding spouse children & family .Its one in mllion such exceptional human being with right combinartion of talents as mentioned come together in a dr.

[gertrudewhite]

WOW, absolutely amazing. You have to have a lot of guts to be a doctor.

[Venislav87]

in Bulgaria it is almost do not believe that will do it

[TheNoobishGamer]

this is soo sick who would want to do this...

[noodlecoco1955]

@TheNoobishGamer

YOU talk out of your arse !!!!

I had a triple bypass in 2001 and i'm still here MUPPET !!

Without this surgery I would not have survived ! I was 45 years old !!

Don't think it cant happen to you !! I was 10.5 stones 5ft 7 in Tall and "fairly fit" - so I thought !! ? Beware - FOOL !!!!!!

[Shortey0]

This is AMAZING!! Thank GOD for doctors and modern science!

[shinnymatz]

dr verma just helped to save my brothers life amazing man

[Josephlmt]

Wow, this is truly amazing. God bless doctors and nurses.

[azchoman]

this is so awesome

[claireramz]

my mom is going to have this surgery done on her tomorrow. I'm praying that everything will turn out to be alright tomorrow. i'm so scared for her..

[NateStudios]

Difficult to watch at first, but it was very interesting and truly amazing.

[bukakee1]

How do they cut open without breaking through the rip bones?

[mbburch06]

@bukakee1 The rib bones connect to the sternum, which is a bone in the upper-middle portion of the chest. During open heart surgery, the sternum is cut lengthwise (it's called a "medial sternotomy"). This allows the ribs to be pulled apart without breaking.

[deese64]

Wow, amazing.

[knowledge0128]

Beautiful minds!

[napischu]

"Sure has alot of yellow stuff in there" Hahaha, gotta love the medical terms.

[Pigpen1961]

I had mine done a week ago feeling better each day

[girlsguidetosurvival]

Thank goodness for such fine surgeons.

My dad had emergency bypass surgery 5 days ago. Normal, healthy 67 yr old never drank or smoked, ate healthy, excercised regularly with minor hypertension complaining pain in the arm and general physicians giving him pain meds.

Thanks to the new Doc who was replacing his regular Doc who ran an immdediate angiography and ordered surgery. This father's day is very special for me. Celebrate your fathers and be proactive with your health.

Thanks all

[bongdiddes]

At 42 i had a triple bypass surgery. I was lucky and thankful of the doctors who has done the operation. My family who have been so patient and loving and friends who offered their prayers. My big thanks to Dr. Antonio Sibulo Jr., my cardiologist(St. Luke's)...every beat of my heart reminds me of God's wonderful blessings.

[493175001]

South Asians more at risk..and people still think race does not exist.

[BA747Captain]

@493175001 if its the truth though....I dont think he was going to be racist idiot

[chikalatala]

watching this video was helpful, i've been worrying since i did not know what exactly they do in a triple bypass surgery, my partner just had to have one last week, she's still in the ICU but they hope to move her out of that soon. But her case is different than most, as she also had really bad pnemonia when she had the heart attack, so they have been having to treat that as well.

[fmxemo]

now i'm 18 but in the age of 17 i started working on operation rooms in hospitals like these :)

[raidergunz]

to think he is only 30 years old but has huge amounts of pericardial fat, without surgery this guy would have died before 50

[mitchelldshelby]

Great video, and some people in our country to place a cap on the income that doctors earn, they are worth every penny and in most cases more.

[sideshowbobby71]

My father just had one of these and it's amazing. I thank the powers that be that give these people such extraordinary gifts of intelligence, skill and coordination.

[cruiser277777]

@sideshowbobby71

great news, hope hes well. just found out my dad needs one. its just amazing what they can do.

[SriniFriend4U]

Doctors are amazing.. I've always admired them...

[chicago6584]

Quit smoking.

[AraBicboii]

jesus christ i give so much respect to doctors and what my dad does. i really want to become a surgeon one day

[hornykrishna]

I just had triple bypass last week and home already... was in theatre for just on 6 hours! Worst thing is the post op pain from the sternum. Thank god for oxycontin !!! Is slowly getting less painful..another 6-12 weeks too fully heal... other thing is can sometimes hear the chest creak or crack... but apart from that....AAA+++

[spacerollin2fine]

I plan on becoming a Surgical Cardiologist, but i am only in middle school, and i am 14, But I know alot about the heart and will be willing to save lives for people who need it.

[tlittle63]

@spacerollin2fine Study and work hard; and stay healthy. I hope you becoming one the the best Cardio Surgeon ever. Always strike to be the best mate..

[sharibella]

@spacerollin2fine i plan on doing that as well, i'm 16 :)



[BlueJess0821]

@spacerollin2fine i am currently going to school to be a surgical technologist, you keep up with your dreams middle school or not that is where mine started, and I am almost there and loving every minute of it!! :D

[kimakaanna]

This is my future career! Just 7 more years of college to go, not to mention med school. I'm actually excited!

[vezzle12]

i had 5 bypass last Sept. 2008... thanks GOD i get back to work after 6 months.

[203207ab]

I would like to thank these great doctors for saving the life of such a caring human being named Dick Cheney. He has cared so much for saving our children from the evil

al queda people. Thank you heart surgeons for that.

[macphisto80]

@203207ab what the fuck does al queda have to do with a heart operation? Fucking knob!

[thenightwind]

I'm 63 and had a quadruple bypass done on Aug 31, 2009. My wife took me to the urgent care doctor because I kept on coughing when I laid down to sleep. I was having a heart attck - no pain or "elephant on your chest" - just couldn't catch my breath. Since the bypass, I've lost 35 lbs in water because of congestive heart failure and I no longer take insulin for diabetes my blood sugar is normal with just a pill. I'll be out on disability for at least 3 more weeks. I just praise God I'm alive

[mrbunny5150]

I had a triple bypass May 18, 2009...I also got laid off right after the surgery, lucky me. I had bad shooting pains in my legs for about 3 months, and I STILL have issues with my collarbones...They just dont fit right and they hurt. Surgeon sez it will get better with time...On top of it all, I am now in the middle of a deep deep depression with a ton of anxiety. I'll get thru this, Im doing all the right things..but MAN, it is a tough thing to go thru. Hardest thing I've ever done.

[koskoni]

@mrbunny5150 Never be anxious, when you are you miss what is the present and worry about the future. Worry about the future when it gets here. By the way, during times like this always remember the proverb: "The night is darkest before the dawn."

[cristianiochi]

Hello. My mum got that operation done on the 26 09 2007 .and everything went well THANK GOD . I was very woried about it . i could not live without her so i think that this kind of videos are very useful for some of us because most of us dont care about our lives .But when i seen this video i can see how muck valuable our lives are ..thank you for your video ....

[mommie99010304]

It is so sad to hear you guys talk about this. It was a definite scare when my boyfriend 26 yrs old went in for a bypass. I knew he had heart disease but this was like so incredibly I don't kno what it was. I just kno that I cried for a long time. More inside than out cause I couldn't show him. I wanted to be strong for him. After looking at this video, I just can't even imagine. He got through it and I thank God everyday for keeping him with me. I could not have asked for a better partner.

[vidiotav]

I'm 45 and had the procedure done on July 4th,2009. They sent me home

July 7th,2009. By Dr. Verma. The recovery process will take at least 2 Months for the Rib and Leg to heal, take it slow. One day at a time.

[chato7411]

thank you for the advice i will...

[James200809]

i had one in 2003 im not worried for my next one at all in 10 years or so the best part is when they give you the happy gas lol it makes you high

[chato7411]

my dad is having triple bypass today im really nervous ... thanks for having this video up.

wasnt exactly sure what was going to happen to my dad, but i feel better after watching this informative video..

[osummuso]

Hi Chato,

where the system failed me, is that there is no automatic screening procedure.

My own dad had a triple bypass and died aged 65.

I always thought because I was fit, it would pass me by.

Get your cholesterol screened and insist on getting tested, otherwise, like me, you'll be leaving your kids too soon.

[jocyro82]

My 78 yr old Grandpa just had this done on the 29th of May. He was in the hospital for 6 days and although that was hard to see him so out of it and drugged up, he is now doing wonderfully and is healing beautifully. He is doing physical therapy 3 times a week and is staying healthy. He is so strong and my hero! Thank God for the surgeons who do this--they are amazing!

[detrocky]

Thankyou for sharing ur Grandpa's age and story. My Dad is 71 and is going in for tripple bypass very soon. thankyou

[88e303stanggt]

Thank you for this video.. my 55 year old dad is going in tomorrow morning at 10:30am for his quad bypass. He is healthy, active (avid surfer/runner) but his (and mine to I guess!) genetics are mostly to blame. My grandparents both died at 45 from heart attacks, and my 58 year old unlce (dads brother) has had 1 minor heartattack, and a quad bypass as well. Nice to see what will actually happen tomorrow morning if all goes well.... Prayin for the best!

[LoxxlyJumpsAlot]

Praying for him

[osummuso]

I'm 41 and had a quadruple bypass last year.

If anyone needs more information on the operation and subsequent convalescence, hit me up.

[ssuit]

I am in my 3rd week of recovery from a triple. How long did it take for you to completely recover?

[osummuso]

You'll feel better every day.

You'll feel better than you did before the op in about another eight weeks.

Just take things slow and progressive.

No naked mud wrestling for a while ok?

Seriously though.

Patience is key.

It takes time.

If you have any 'wound' issues, get somebody to get you 'manuka' honey.

Happy to answer any questions.

[ssuit]

During the 2nd week of recovery, I began experiencing excruciating pain in both feet.. The doctor said this is called neuropathy. Did you have such an experience? If so, what have you found to help relieve the pain?

[osummuso]

Anything "neuro" is to do with 'nerves'.

I'm guessing that you had leg veins removed.

I'm a bit unusual, in that I had the radial arteries of both arms removed, instead of leg veins.

I've been left with a bad hand tremor, which may or may not be nerve damage depending on who I speak to,

Could be something similar for you?

I'd guess it kicked in as you reduced painkillers?

Anyway's, good luck with it.

It's not funny!

[animalandcarlover]

I few years ago, my popol had to get a triple bypass.

[happilylil]

i am really happy that i knew about Levodyn, it's really effective made my blood pressure in normal. it's really great.

[NeoQuello]

different races of humans are built differently inside too????

[MooMoojarry]

everyones the same when it comes to the squishy insides. Like apples.

[massey4255]

my grandad had a quad bypass today. hes in intensive care now

[vladimir2277]

my best wishes to him to recover well!

[massey4255]

thankyou very much

[FlightAttendant08876]

definitely best wishes to his speedy recovery!

[massey4255]

many thanks

[4927005]

Its my best ever seen video on this specific topic .

[roadie50]

At what point do they remove the drainage tubes at the end of the operation?

[lancsman54]

I had a quadrouple heart bypass last june, apart from a few problems im fit and well.

[bayarm9]

1. Cover your mouth with your hand.

2. Make a wish.

3. Close your hand(make a fist).

4. Hold your hand to your heart for 5 seconds.

5. Thank GOD and JESUS for every thing they have done for you.

6. Comment this to three other videos.

7. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life

[drzugo]

[freakyme888]

they dont replace that vein  coz it regrows..

[egglot12]

With what do they replace the cut out saphenous vein section?

[renard801]

Attention, everyone! After mild exertion, my wife (age 70) got breathless, with pain in her chest and arm. It quickly went away so she put up with it. I persuaded her to see the doctor, who suspected angina and referred her for tests. Result: admitted immediately to hospital, needed a triple bypass, which she had three days ago. It may have saved her life. She is recovering well. Be warned by her story - don't delay! Warmest thanks and admiration to staff at Southampton (UK) General Hospital.

[detrocky]

Thankyou for sharing that renard. My dad is 71 and will be getting a trip bypass very soon. I feel a lil better hearing ur story about ur wife. I am very worried about his age for this type of surgery. But, he has to do what he has to do. Thanks again.

[Shamamir58]

I had atriple bypass plus one balooning on April 2008 at National Heart Institute KL Malaysia all goes well and ends well but I hope this will be the first and the last .I am 51 now Thanks Doctor and Nurses keep good work

[pilotdave1970]

My grandpas is 82 and just had a triple 2 days ago and now has developed increased dimentia and cannot talk now. They are really not sure what is wrong,

[secondz21]

my father had a triple bypass way back aug.2006 and was well and healthy now. Lucky enough that it the only problem and the doctors saw no complications. Our family is very thankful and celebrate his second life!!!

[ronyagt123]

My mum is going in this morning for a quadruple bypass. She has been plagued by a bad heart for years, at least now there is hope for a better future - even though she is 72 :)

Does anyone know how long this op is effective for?

[Wyrehedd242]

how is your mother? hope shes doing alright. my father has to go in for a tripple in a couple weeks... let me know.

[ronyagt123]

My mom is doing fine after the op thanks. She hallucinated in hospital post op from the medication, we thought she had gone senile - talking of dead people and strangers etc . We laugh about it now but I thought she'd gone over the edge. Shes still tired and frustrated for not feeling 100% but is improving daily. She has the odd pain in her chest but since her op, her sugar levels have stablized. Wishing you and your dad all the best for his op.

[detrocky]

Im being told its good for 9 yrs or more. I have a coworker who had it nine years ago and is doing well today. He went back to his old lifestyle and is still doing good so far. Good luck

[ambranat]

very intersting!!! I totally found this helpful!

[woodsorangebo]

I had a 5 by-pass surgery in 2002 at 50 years of age and so far doing OK. six months p.o. I walked 13 miles in a mini marathon.Sometimes ,you can have sharp pains in your left chest p.o. from the harvesting of the left mammary artery.

[adazed57]

My 5 by-pass surgery July 20 2009. I walk my block to both ends and back and I'm winded. I try to do this twice a day because and besides keeping my legs elevated it stops the cramps from the leg where they harvested the veins. But most of the time I'm tired. I'm 52 and the Dr says this is all because of stress and genetics. It's hard to believe things will get better and I am so greatful for your reports. Thank you.

[jefeisdguard]

I had a triple bypass December 30th, 2008

Found myself on a operating table due, in part, on keeping my appointment to my regular doctor. He found abnormalities on my EKG & felt very uncomfortable leaving his office I asked him if I should go to the hospital, he said yes

After my heart cathe, One was 100% blocked & the other two only 60%.

My wife was told that the 100% blockage was normally called, 'the widow maker'.

[medical1591]

sooooooooooooooooo many years of schooling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tuutuu7]

Dr. Verma, you look terrific in this video. Brian, Johnson and Ali, you guys too, of course. Dr. Lin, they didn't mention about TEE guy.. but I do know how important you were for the whole procedure. Was the circulator Vanessa? Way to go, girl.

[xxblackwidow]

My grandmother underwent a triple bypass yesterday and is doing well thus far.

I must say, this was very interesting to watch and informative...

First, because now I know what happened to her during those long 6 hours.

Second, because I hope to work in the medical field one day in the future.

Thanks alot for posting this video! :]

[Axelle1963]

J'ai eu cette operation il y a deux semaines et demi et je vais bien maintenant , merci aux chirugiens de Cardiff hosptital on wales , uhw .

[kimuddo]

Awesome video for nursing students to see. i wanted permission to send a link on blackboard to our registered students at my nursing program...it is an excellent active learning experience for students to analyze the sequesnce of events and the impact on their pre and post operative care.

[kimuddo]

I showed your video at the beginning of a class on CABG, MVR, and Aneurysm Repair. I wanted persmission to use this as a link on blackboard for educational use...You are a great teacher...it is a great film to analyze and for novice nursing students to use to become aware of the surgical impact on their nursing care.Beautiful short video.

[fatblood89x]

thats great

[campviejo]

My Dad goes in next month sometime,we're all very scared including my Dad. All my family have heart issues on both sides so I have to be carefull. My Uncle dies at 39, Aunti at 52, Grandad at 47. These surgeons are amazing people.

[kellynattico1]

My dad had a triple bypass yesterday and is doing good, it was a trauma for the whole family and the first time I have ever seen my dad show fear.

Huge thanks to St Thomas Hospital london

[joshdadownhiller]

Same my dad had triple bypass and he was only 45 and i was only 10 years old i had never been so sad but greatful in my life thanks to the surgeons at Townsville hospital in Cairns. unlucky for me though because both of my grandparents on bothsides of my family have had triple and quadtriple bypass and all of my great grandparents died from heart attacks. my dad also had a heart attack.

[chinodesignz]

yea my dad too....i have to beware becuase I heard its hereditary.
