How dangerous is open heart surgery with a 100% blockage?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very low risk: If you have already survived a 100% blockage having a bypass surgery on that is very low risk.

Low: Which vessel? There are several coronary arteries. What damage? What ejection fraction? In general, risk for CABG is low and depends on other major risk factors.
