A member asked:

Dad had cabg surgery 1 year ago and seems to be fine. are there any problems with flying for him -- or can he fly without concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

S/p CABG: Only problems with flying would be if he were a pilot. Would need cardiac eval including stress test. A normal plane passenger - ok to fly if clinically stable.
