A member asked:

Can there be any chances of blocking heart arteries again after doing heart surgery?

Dr. Creighton Wright answered

Specializes in surgery

Yes: Either grafts can become blocked, or previous unblocked arteries can become blocked, or original blocked arteries can progress. That's why we suggest cardiac rehabilitation, no smoking ! diet! exercize and overall heart healthy approach. Prevention is good, !
