Triple Bypass Surgery Survival Rate

Families of the patient who should undergo triple bypass surgery may have questions in mind about the survival rate. They can’t help but worry if the patient will survive. They would also like to know what things are likely  to happen after the surgery. In a discussion forum, patients who have undergone triple bypass surgery have expressed their different experiences.

The summary of their discussion sums up that they have a successful surgery. Majority of them have survived and lived normal lives as an outcome of the surgery. The group of patients  discussing consists of nine males and six females. Their age bracket is divided into two for each  gender. The male age ranges from ages 45 to 82 years old while female age ranges from 30 to 80 years old. The blockage that they had on their arteries ranges from 80% to 90%.

To show the results of their surgery, we separated the feedback of the males and the females. According to the males, they lived normal lives after the surgery. They have been living remarkably well with no complications and in excellent mood. Right after the surgery some have experienced few struggles. Those adjustment periods included four days of pain after surgery, chest muscles are sensitive to cold, feeling nauseous  for several weeks, cardiac rehab three times a week for three months and the first year after surgery had been generally tough. One patient presented quite a rare outcome and that is going through another triple bypass surgery 14 years after the last surgery. All of them were physically fit before the onset of chest pains and heart attacks. Their recovery span varied from three months until  a year. After the recovery period they lived well and longer.

Females’ feedback have variations and each with their own stories before having heart attack. One of them is a chain smoker, another one is an active triathlon and others just lived normal lives before the heart attack. Chest pains or angina had led some of them to the emergency room of  the hospital and never thought it was that serious until they were admitted for surgery. Almost all of the females went well after the surgery. However, one of them didn’t makeit to the recovery stage. The woman  was 80 years old when she had the surgery. Her family thought she made it because she did pretty well 24 hours after the surgery.  But unfortunately, at 33 hours she passed away.  One  had the fastest recovery which was about 9 days after the surgery.  She had already gotten  back to work 9 days after her surgery.  Another one stated she fully recovered after 5 months.

Based on this triple bypass surgery survival rate discussion, the mortality rate of the patients who undergotriple bypass surgery is a low  1 out of 15 patients. Only one of them didn’t make it and died. It goes to show that this medical procedure  is still a safe way to extend  the life of the patient and to somehow reduce  the occurrence of chest pains and heart attackin the future. The discussion  somehow alleviates the worrying hearts of the family whose  family member will undergo triple bypass surgery.
