At our facility we see about 5-7 coronary bypass grafts each day...
A CABG or 'cabbage' take anywhere from 3-5, 6 hours....

It can involve 1,2-up to 5 blood vessels. A quad bypass is a long procedure- depending on the shape of the valves, blood vessel wall......In the five years that I have seen the paperwork on CABGs I can't remember seeing any operations with any type of serious complications.....mostly post op bleeding, but that is a real rarity.

The recovery is tough and as long as he is in the hospital he's in good hands....

He'll be o.k.!
