A member asked:
How often do people die on the table during heart operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on the age , type of heart surgery, condition of the heart going into the surgery, presence or absence of lung, kidney and liver disease, age and physical condition. In most routine heart surgeries the chance of dying is less than 2%. Surgery is generally not considered if risk is over 8 to 10%.
