Can there be any difference between a triple and a quadruple bypass heart operation?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
CAB: The only difference is in how many bypasses are performed. Triple would be three vessels bypassed, quadruple would be four; the operation is the same technique.

Yes: One additional graft hookup to another coronary. Ten- fifteen minute longer operation. The rest of the operation is about the same risks and benefits!
