When is the right time to have a bypass surgery?
Avoiding bypass surgery is not recommended if your father has blockages in the arteries of his heart and a weakened heart muscle. If he has not had a heart catheterization yet that should be your next step. The heart catheterization shows how severe the blockages are and determines whether bypass surgery or balloon angioplasty/stenting should be done. The timing of bypass surgery is usually determined by the severity of the blockages and the patient's symptoms. Following bypass surgery many people feel better than they did before surgery. It does take several weeks to heal after surgery but as the heart muscle gets stronger people usually resume all of their usual activities. Many people who have bypass surgery do not require future procedures or repeat bypass.
We would not recommend vitamin C and natural medications INSTEAD of bypass surgery. There is NO medical research to support the claims that vitamin C removes plaque in arteries.
If you are unsure what to do we would recommend getting a second opinion from another cardiologist.
