Quadruple Bypass Heart Surgery Process and Recovery Quadruple bypass heart surgery is an open heart procedure. Find out what a quadruple bypass is, when it is needed, and what to expect if you have one. www.verywellhealth.com Quadruple bypass surgery is an open-heart surgical procedure that is done to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. In an open-heart surgery, the chest is cut open and the person is put on a machine to do the work of the heart and lungs during the surgery. ---Quadruple bypass surgery means that four of the arteries feeding your heart are blocked. All four of them will need vessels grafted onto them in order to restore blood flow to the heart. During the procedure, your own heart is stopped so that surgeons can do their work. A machine continues to deliver oxygen to the blood and pump it through the body until the surgery is over and recovery begins. ---During surgery, the blood vessels are attached to the existing heart vessel, around the areas of blockage. It's similar to a quick detour you might take to avoid traffic, with the blood literally rerouted around the blocked portion of the cardiac artery.13 --- A quadruple bypass heart surgery is a complicated procedure. Your surgeon may recommend it if they think it will improve your health and quality of life, and if the risks do not outweigh the rewards.20 However, this operation is not a "cure" for coronary artery disease on its own. After the surgery, it will be important to make lifestyle changes in order to improve your overall health. Remember that recovery takes time as you readjust to your routine and begin to become more active again.
