9 Complications With Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

1. Stroke Or Heart Attack

The main reason why people undergo coronary artery bypass surgery is to reduce their risk of heart attack and stroke. But in some cases, stroke and heart attack are a serious complication of the surgery. According to a 2014 study, neurological dysfunction after coronary bypass surgery may include stroke in up to five percent of patients. A heart attack can occur if lifestyles changes have not been shifted to include lowering of artery-clogging cholesterol.
