A member asked:

Could you tell me what guarantee does a heart bypass procedure give to a stricken heart patient?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CABG: No surgeon in his right mind would guarantee a surgical result to a patient. In general coronary bypass patients have over a 90% chance of signficant improvement of their symptoms. In some situations that number won't be realistic and the patient is generally made to understand what they can hope for.
