Hi Team Robo, I have a query from the team Robo, related to Cardiac problem. Few Months back my dad was hospitalised in a hospital and was diagnosed with triple vessel disease. His other reports include portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis. I want to know from him that in this condition can he be treated? My point of concern is this, he has visited almost every top notch medical practitioners and maximum of them advised him not to opt for any surgery.So i can't see him like this just spending rest of his life in medicines only, can u please suggest me is robo. surgery would be safe and beneficial for him. I've all the reports with me, kindly mark it as "URGENT' and please give me a reply back personnely. I can send u the reports whenver u say.. Kindly take this request in person and get back soon. Thanks, Shipra Sharma, +91-9811164384 Vasant Kunj, Delhi. |

Dear Shipra Sharma Unfortunately you did not write the age of your father but as you have mention he has cirrhosis of liver in this case cardiac bypass surgery will be difficult because anesthetic will not be ready to give anesthesia and due to deranged liver function it will be problem with the surgical wound healing and clotting profile. As far as problem of heart is concerned. The extent of disease, number of arteries affected and overall health of the patient influences treatment outcomes. Willingness to eat a healthy diet and otherwise change negative habits improves chances for a good prognosis. A patient's ability to follow medical advice will also determine recovery time from procedures such as coronary artery bypass graft. A patient can sometimes start with medication but need other, more invasive treatment like angioplasty or bypass grafting later. So please get advice of a good cardiologist and calculate risk versus benefit of surgery. With regards J S Chowhan |
