Awake Cardiac Surgery(Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting- CABG)

Sir i would like to thanks you all..my father (Mr. Kailashchandra )recovering very fast after CABG..this is a great video,from here i came to know about the surgery..

how long the operation takes place? here in our hosp. using the hear-lung machine the least is 4 hours.

well freind, it depends on how many grafts are to be done, what areconduits planned, which are vessles to be grafted. whether onpump or offpump, what is pt's lvef.usually if you plan awake surgery IMA harvesting is to be done extra pleuraly sparing pleura which is time consuming. usually a four graft case requires 6 hrs including anaesthetist time.

i seldom hear an active heart during cabg.... well done guyz...

thanks a lot we here do almost all over cases on beating heart

We have uploaded videos on aortic & mitral valve replacement with chordee preservation as well as total arterial off pump awake surgeries. you can go through. thanks

i need to have a valve replaced as it is to narrow and leaks, i also have a 2nd degree blockage . just worried on the recovering pain and the chances of any mistakes occuring during the operation going to get it proberbly within the next 6 months

which valve needs replacement? 2nd degree block means AV block? i suppose. usually with thoracic epidural anaesthesia there is no pain perceived in post operative period . thanks

thanks a lot
