Question 1

what is the success rate of heart bypass surgery?

Accepted Answer

Good for pain: Bipass is very successful in relieving angina pectoris, pain related to blockage in the arteries. In most circumstances, there is not good evidence that it also lengthens life. Whether you have surgery or not, it is critical to address your risk factors such as smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol, stress, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, etc.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Bypass: Rate of survival from quadruple bypass is 82 percent.

Question 3

triple bypass surgery survival rate?

Accepted Answer

Quite high: Depends on risk factors going in!
the operation itself carries good results in general, but smokers, diabetics, obese have increased risks to have the problems and to recover.

Question 4

mortality rate for triple bypass surgery?

Accepted Answer

Ask surgeon;complexQ: The answer is, "it depends". What do you mean by mortality rate? Death on the table? Death in 30 days? Death in 1 yr? 5 yrs? 10 yrs? Also, answer will depend on the surgeon who is performing the procedure as well as any medical problems the pt has aside from heart disease (diabetes, etc.) Stats compiled by NY at http://www.heartprotect.com/mortality-stats.shtml; overall, 4.2% 1-yr mortality in NY.

Question 5

what is the survival rate of a triple bypass surgery?

Accepted Answer

Excellent: All comers: 98-99%
over age 80 : 95%
with significant lung or kidney disease: lower (depends on the specifics). 
Emergency surgery also lowers the survival compared with elective surgery.

Question 6

any way to find out the overall survival rate for people who get tripple bypass surgery?  thank you.

Accepted Answer

Variabe: Many factors affect this  need objective evaluation by the cardiologist.

Question 7

which is the fatality rate of carotid artery bypass surgery?

Accepted Answer

Low: Depends on where you are and who you talk to, but most recent registries and studies have the mortality from surgery at about 1-2 percent. The waters get muddy when death, stroke, and heart attack are lumped together. All things considered, carotid surgery gives the best long term results.

Question 8

what is the risk rate on coronary artery bypass surgery?

Accepted Answer

STS risk calculator: You can estimate the risk with the sts risk calculator. Search "sts risk calculator" on your favorite search engine. Based on many factors; age, comorbodities, renal function, ect... It will estimate the risk of having surgery.  
For a healthy 50 yo it should be around 1% mortality if undergoing bypass.

Question 9

why has the rate of gastric bypass surgery increased so drastically in recent years?

Accepted Answer

Quick fix: People are generally looking for the fastest way to do something, requiring the least amount of effort and time. Like any other weight loss surgery, over time, you can find a way to beat it. Losing weight the old fashioned way, diet, exercise, and life style modification is the long term way to success.

Question 10

what is the complication rate of carotid artery bypass surgery?

Accepted Answer

3% or less: I assume you mean carotid endarterectomy, which is a relatively common operation to remove plaque which is partially obstructing flow through the artery to the brain.  The best surgeons report complication rates of 3% or better.  When the carotid artery is totally blocked, then a bypass can be created past the blocked artery.  This must be done by a skilled neurosurgeon.
