A member asked:
How long after bypass surgery do the arteries begin to start clogging again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The process: ... Of clogging of the arteries and building up of plaque in the vessels which has been going on for many years does not necessarily ever stop just because one has bypass surgery. It can be slowed down with smoking cessation, diet, exercise, and control of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
