A member asked:
Will catching a cold postpone my heart bypass surgery? would a cold make recovery more difficult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold before CABG: Yes. You have a much higher risk of post-operative pneumonia as well as other complications before elective CABG surgery if you have a cold. Consult your doc.
