There are certain surgical indications for receiving bypass surgery, which has become the main treatment for coronary artery disease since the first case in the world using coronary artery bypass surgery for coronary artery disease in 1967. Its immediate and long-term results have been confirmed by a large number of cases and long follow-ups worldwide. The main principle of bypass surgery is to improve myocardial ischemia to the greatest extent possible and to reduce the risk to the patient. The lesion is taken into account in the choice of treatment. The recovery time after coronary artery bypass surgery usually takes about 8 weeks, during and after which some considerations must be observed. I. Diet: Increased intake of calories, protein and vitamins is usually required. Controlling hyperlipidemia through dietary therapy is a long-term task, and only by controlling hyperlipidemia can we prevent and slow down coronary artery or post-operative re-clogging. Second, exercise: start walking at a speed and pace that you can tolerate, and take several more walks a day, which is a little more beneficial than one long-distance walk. In the process of sports and exercise, if chest pain, shortness of breath, asthma and fatigue occur, you should stop immediately. Fatigue is inevitable until you fully regain your strength. You may feel your heart beating very strongly during activity, but as long as the heartbeat is less than
120 beats/min, this is normal, do not have concerns. Work: After 8 weeks of discharge from the hospital, you can discuss with your doctor about returning to work, which must be considered in a comprehensive manner, depending on your condition, physical ability, recovery status, and working hours and tension. Postoperative review: usually scheduled 3-6 months after surgery. V. Wound protection and treatment: It usually takes 3 months for the sternum to heal, and weight-bearing during this period should not exceed
5 kg during this period. If there is severe pain, redness and swelling, and discharge from the wound a few weeks after surgery, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Elevate the lower extremities at rest and while sitting: to reduce discomfort or swelling of the legs; if the lower extremities are uncomfortable, apply local heat; however, if severe pain persists, it is best to go to the hospital.
