What is the treatment for re-clogging of the bridge vessels after heart bypass surgery?

Coronary artery bypass grafting is the creation of a channel between the proximal and distal ends of a narrowed coronary artery, allowing blood to bypass the narrowed area and reach the distal end, just as a bridge allows a highway to pass unobstructed across a mountain gorge or river. However, the materials used are not steel and concrete, but the saphenous vein, internal mammary artery, right gastroretinal artery, radial artery, and inferior abdominal wall artery. “Heart bypass” is the ideal treatment for coronary heart disease, what should be noted in the rehabilitation of patients after heart bypass? 1, wound care diligently when discharged from the hospital, there is a slight redness, pain, swelling at the wound, sometimes even last for several months, this is a normal phenomenon. After returning home, we should check the wound frequently, if we find signs of infection, we should promptly go to the hospital for examination. The wound should be rinsed with water or antibacterial soap daily and the wound should be covered with a sterile dressing. The ankle may be swollen for several weeks after surgery. You can wear elastic stockings or elevate the affected limb at rest to reduce the swelling. 2.Scientific arrangement of diet After surgery, you should ensure the intake of appropriate amount of fruits and vegetables every day, and eat more foods with high protein content (such as fish, eggs, etc.) and foods containing unsaturated fatty acids (such as corn oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, etc.), and less foods with high saturated fatty acid content (such as animal oil, cream, etc.). 3. Drink a small amount of alcohol and strictly prohibit smoking It is best not to drink alcohol after surgery, and to drink up to 50 ml of red wine per day. Smoking is an important risk factor for heart disease, so smoking should be strictly prohibited. 4.Lots of rest During the recovery period of 4-6 weeks after surgery, 8-10 hours of sleep should be guaranteed every day. All activities should be arranged after sufficient sleep, and the amount of activities should be appropriate without feeling strained. 5.Participate in appropriate activities After discharge from the hospital, you can first take a 10-minute walk in the morning and evening, and gradually increase the speed and extend the distance after a few days. During the process of increasing the amount of exercise, if there is a slight headache, fatigue, sweating, body aches and other symptoms are normal. If angina attacks while exercising (such as walking), take nitroglycerin under the tongue immediately. If it is not relieved, or if it is accompanied by shortness of breath, heavy sweating and pain for more than 15 minutes, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. It is advisable to choose to exercise in the morning or evening when the weather is cool in summer, or in the gymnasium in winter. Going upstairs is a moderate or heavy physical activity. Patients who live upstairs at home can go upstairs slowly by themselves. Later, it can be changed to do some light housework, such as cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, etc. It is important to avoid lifting heavy objects, such as moving furniture, scrubbing floors, etc. Avoid pulling the chest within 4-6 weeks after surgery, including holding children, pushing heavy objects, driving, etc. 6. Pay attention to the change of memory and vision. Temporary loss of memory and concentration may occur after surgery. However, this is uncommon and usually returns to normal within a few weeks. There is usually a slight change in vision after surgery, but it can be restored to pre-operative vision after 6 months. 7. Pay attention to the negative psychological impact The surgery not only has a large physical trauma, but also has a large negative psychological impact on the spirit, and many patients will experience depression. If symptoms such as sleep disturbance, weakness, drowsiness, apathy and despair and suicidal tendency appear, these are all manifestations of depression and should be promptly seen by the psychological consultation department of a regular hospital.
