the maximum number of open-heart surgeries i have seen is three. with each surgery there are increasing risks of complications. hopefully your symptoms can be managed with medications or less invasive interventions. another idea to possibly consider with your physician is eecp [enhanced external counterpulsation] -- i have had great success with it my patients who have tried it.
i’ve had two bypass surgeries in the last two years and have eight stents. how many open heart surgeries can i have?
