"}},"texts":{"txt_procedure_3_clinics":{"text":"There are following indications for CABG:
\n\nBefore performing the operation, physicians examine patient’s medical history. Some factors may lead to complications during the intervention or rehabilitation period. There are following contraindications for CABG:
\n\nCoronary artery bypass grafting is divided into:
\n\nIn some cases several bypasses are required. Find out how much does a triple heart bypass cost by submitting a request on Bookimed site. Our Doctor Coordinator will contact you shortly to provide a consultation.
\n\nThe coronary artery bypass surgery cost is calculated for patients individually in each particular case.
\n\nCoronary artery bypass graft procedure can be performed in 3 ways. The choice of particular type of graft depends on the location of the blocked area, size of the damaged area and diameter of the artery.
\n\n“Grafts” are vein and artery that act as an anastomosis, creating a bypass on obstructed cardiac vessels and restoring normal blood flow. The vein is usually taken from the leg of a patient, while the artery is relocated from the chest wall. During the operation, a surgeon sews up the original vessel of the patient to the coronary artery near the area of narrowing. That allows the blood flow to “bypass” the blocked area.
\n\nGrafting process
\n\nInternal thoracic artery is commonly used graft as it has the best long-term results: veins are less likely to become blocked over time. A surgeon takes the artery from its area and sews its ends in the coronary artery bypassing obstructed segment.
\n\nRadial artery is located in the hand together with the ulnar artery. Considering that the ulnar artery is a dominant blood supplier of the hand, removal of the radial artery during the operation does not pose a threat to the organism.
\n\nGreat saphenous vein is often used as a graft. It is a long vessel running along the inner side of the leg. To take the vein a surgeon makes an incision or several small incisions along its location.
\nA patient is hospitalized 3-5 days prior to the surgery. They undergo necessary examinations and prepare for the operation in the inpatient department. Following tests and examinations are conducted before the surgery:
\n\nPremedication
\n\nBefore the operation, a patient is administered a general anesthesia. Other medications are also introduced to patient’s body to reduce heart demand for oxygen by lowering arterial pressure and reducing heart rate. Myocardial blood flow is improved by the use of vasodilators.
\n\nIn case of off-pump CABG, medications that temporary stop the heart will be administered after the incision in the chest bone.
\n\nEach patient is cross-matched with at least 2 units of blood to compensate for blood loss during or after the operation.
\n\nOperation process
\n\nThe surgery lasts from 3 to 5 hours. The duration depends on the amount of bypassed arteries and health particularities of a patient. During the surgery, a heart-lung bypass device carries out functions of the heart and lungs. It is vital if physicians opted to operate on the non-beating heart. When finishing CABG, a doctor installs drain tubes in the chest to drain liquid from the operated area. Then the wound is stitched and a patient is delivered to the intensive care unit where they stay until complete stabilization.
\nRecovery in hospital
\n\nA patient stays in intensive care unit for 1-3 days after the operation. This period may take longer if complications take place, hospitalization duration influences how much does a heart bypass cost. Patient’s vitals will be constantly monitored. Various medicines that control blood circulation and pressure will be delivered through IV. Special catheter is inserted to drain urine. In some cases, oxygen therapy (oxygen delivered through a mask or nasal tubes) and/or temporary pacemaker is utilized. A physician may provide a patient with compression stockings. They apply gentle pressure on the legs preventing blood from pooling and clotting.
\n\nDuring the first days after the operation a patient must strictly follow these recommendations:
\n\nRecovery at home
\n\nBefore a patient is dismissed, a doctor gives them specific instructions and guidelines for recovery, including:
\n\nA patient also receives information on how to deal with various side effects that may appear after the surgery. They include:
\n\nComplete recovery usually takes up to 3 months. A physician will provide more information about recovery status, but usual physical activities can be re-engaged after approximately 6 weeks of rehabilitation.
\n\nOutlook
\n\nA patient can return to the sedentary work within 1.5 months after discharge from the hospital. Heavier physical work can require a longer period of recovery. Patients after CABG may lead their usual lifestyle. Walking and stair climbing are particularly useful during the rehabilitation period. Patients should avoid longtime walks during very cold or too hot weather which exhausts the organism.
\n\nBad habits should be quitted: smoking and/or drinking can provoke a heart attack. A patient should constantly monitor their blood pressure. Diet must be revised: consumption of salt, fats, and cholesterol-rich products should be minimized. Weight control is desired.
\nCoronary artery bypass surgery cost depends on the following factors:

Istanbul is a top hub for coronary artery bypass grafting. It has high surgical volume, Joint Commission International-accredited facilities, and experienced cardiothoracic surgeons. Specialized centers use techniques like beating-heart bypass and robotic-assisted surgery. They provide full cardiac care with significant savings compared to Western countries.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul prices for bypass surgery range from _op_129_city_107_price_from_ to _op_129_city_107_price_to_. The real value, however, lies in the clinical throughput. At high-volume centers, surgeons often handle over 100 neonatal or complex adult cases each year. This constant practice keeps complication rates lower than at lower-volume regional clinics.
Patient Consensus: Recovery often feels deceptively fast. The removal of drainage tubes is a major comfort milestone. Patients recommend arranging a local cardiologist at home before traveling. This makes sure long-term follow-up is seamless.

Look for surgeons with over 2,000 surgeries at hospitals like Memorial Şişli Hospital or Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital. These hospitals offer specialized cardiac intensive care units and 24/7 medical interpreter support.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows: Istanbul's top surgeons often see graft function last over 10 years. This occurs in 90% of their cases. When comparing packages, note that Memorial Bahçelievler offers LEED Platinum-certified environments, which can support recovery. Always verify if the quoted price covers multiple grafts. Complex cases requiring 5+ grafts naturally command higher fees.
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize contacting hospitals directly to confirm which specific surgeon will perform the operation. They warn against rushed consent. They also recommend having a local cardiologist review the Istanbul treatment plan before traveling.

The stay comes after coronary artery bypass grafting. The timeline includes 7 days in the hospital and at least 14 days of local recovery. This gives time for wound healing and fit-to-fly clearance from a JCI-accredited cardiac surgeon.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Some Istanbul clinics, such as Memorial Şişli, offer 7-day hospital stays. Istinye University Medical Park, however, provides a 3-day hospitalization package. The shorter stay usually means a faster move to hotel-based recovery. Still, patients should plan for a 21-day total trip. The extra time helps them handle the physical demands of airport navigation and long flights. This makes the trip safer.
Patient Consensus: Most patients report significant fatigue and chest soreness after discharge. They stress that doctors may permit travel after 3 weeks. Still, patients should arrange luggage assistance and book airport mobility services. These steps are essential for a safe return home.

These include conventional on-pump surgery, off-pump beating-heart surgery, and robotic-assisted procedures with the Da Vinci system. Specialists like those at Memorial Healthcare Group perform multi-vessel grafting. They use grafts from the patient’s own arteries and veins and follow JCI-accredited protocols.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Clinics may market minimally invasive options. However, Memorial Healthcare Group data shows their surgeons often prioritize traditional on-pump grafting for complex cases. They often use up to 5 or more grafts in a single procedure, ensuring complete revascularization for patients with extensive coronary disease. Robotic methods may not fully address those complex cases.
Patient Consensus: Patients value the precision of robotic surgery and note that surgeons often verify graft patency during the operation. Patients emphasize the importance of discussing the specific graft plan, like LIMA-to-LAD, before surgery.
