I'd like to learn more about the risks & drawbacks of heart bypass surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
And some good: Cor art disease is virtually entirely preventable: see my book "maximum healing"/website www.Thepmc.Org. When patients ask re side effects of meds, i humorously say :"all drugs are poison and i hope i don't kill you." it is important to avoid as many drugs/surgeries as possible, but when necessary, things usually go just fine. Risks: wound infx, stroke, death, punctured lung, med reaction, kidne.
