What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Person After A Heart Bypass Surgery?
Hello, Its regarding my dad, 13 years ago he had a triple heart bypass, 3 weeks ago he had a pacemaker fitted and today hes had stents fitted. the stents that was fitted took over 3 hours because the artery was so blocked, they had to take all the fatty deposits out before the stent could be fitted... They have kept him in hospital. he also has stage 3 CHF. whats is life expectancy now hes had this work done?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Honestly speaking, life expectancy in his case is not more than 2-3 years.
He already had bypass surgery 13 years ago and having pacemaker with stage 3 CHF (congestive heart failure).
So his heart is very weak.
Stenting at present will increase his life to 2-3 years more.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
