How long will the graft lasts after cardiac surgery?
Patient: Eight years ago,I had a procedure which caused a nick in my aorta. A week later, I had another cardiac cath procedure and a dissection occurred and I had bypass surgery. I am curious as to how long I can expect this graft to last. I have no known heart disease at this time. Doctor: Hi,In case you follow healthy lifestyle, take your medication regularly, there are good chances that grafts will last for years, there are cases, with normal functioning grafts for more than 20 years.Wishing you good healthIn case of further questions don't hesitate to askRegards,
