My husband seen surgeon over 2 weeks ago and was told he would have triple/quad bypass surgery within 4weeks but would need test to check his heart to see where they are putting the grafts since there is a bit of damage to his heart due to cardiac arrest and years ago and 3 heart attacks since, also to check his arteries behind the chest to see if they are not diseased, is this something anyone else have any experience on this and what is the time frame after tests for surgery x

Hi my problem was slightly different I saw my surgeon had a load of tests done. Then I had a phone call with just 3 days notice for open heart surgery to repair severely leaking heart valve.!!

It depends on how urgent the surgeon believes the case to be.
