Heart surgeries and catheter-based interventions have improved and/or extended millions of lives.
But — “Overuse” — Excess?
In the heart of a 56-year-old patient, 3 bypasses and 67 stents were implanted over 10 years, with 28 catheter procedures.
One patient had 7 heart surgeries with chest openings between the ages of 55 and 70.
The image shows the current state of the coronary arteries of a 78-year-old patient who was recommended a bypass (3 bypasses) 37 years ago — which he declined. He quit smoking, lost weight, and walked 10-15km daily.
Coronary angiography shows numerous smaller vessels that developed as natural bypasses to supply regions where narrowed or blocked arteries did not deliver enough blood.
He has good heart pump function and a normal quality of life.
Before making a decision — when heart surgery or catheter-based intervention is needed, additional advice based on experience from “not just one center” can be beneficial.
Clinic operates by appointment only.
