A member asked:
Can you let me know how many heart bypasses can a person have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No set rule: But i've seen a few people have 3. Nowadays, it isn't as necessary to have a redo bypass since modern drug eluting stents make a very satisfactory treatment for failing grafts.
