Who is the person who has lived with by pass or stent the most (more time) ?

How is the person who has lived your bypass or stent the most ?

There's a guy who was in the Guinness Book of Records for longest bypass operation survivor, I forget the details but I'm pretty sure it was about forty years...I'd be happy with that!

Thinking some more about this two points occur.

First, there has been a lot of medical progress in the past forty years, in areas like the techniques of harvesting veins to medication, so operations conducted recently are likely to have even longer potential survival times.

Secondly, what I'd like to see is not just the number of years survived, but who has survived to the oldest age with a bypass? The reason being that age is, by a long way, the single biggest risk factor for cardiac heart disease, way more significant than say smoking or obesity. I've just had a quick Google and many if not all of the really long lived bypass patients were in their 20's or 30's when they had the operation, so they're only actually in their 70's today. What I'd find personally even more reassuring is to hear about armies of 60 and 70 year olds who had a bypass but survived into their 80's or 90's!

I can look to to a minor of people who have bypass for so long, but actually the cruel reality is that a fell will reach it, I know lots of people who died suddenly, even people that is making check up annually with good doctor.

I would value quality of life over quantity of life.

3yrs so far had triple bypass at 47

[peterjones105]

My late Uncle had his first HA at 45, he had a triple bypass at 60 and lived until he was 92.

[Edsonmontibeller in reply to peterjones105]

Did he live 32 years with the same stent ?

[peterjones105 in reply to Edsonmontibeller]

Dunno.

[Edsonmontibeller in reply to peterjones105]

Yah

[-007-]

Four years and two months after five stents. Age 63.And.

Two years and two months after a quintuple bypass. Age 65.

I’ll report back in 30 years time to let you know how I’m doing and to let you know where to send my centenary Birthday cards to 🥳😂😂😂😂

My Dad had Aortic valve replacement in 1983 pioneering then died 2015 so did very well the valve was metal sounded like a ticking clock he got used to it and as did we.

My brother had CABG in 1995 at age 40 after 2 HA's and is still popping along. In order to live the longest you would have had surgery at a younger age, all things considered. My father-in-law had 2 HA's in his 50's and quit smoking after 30 years, a CABG and Aortic valve replacement at 82 and died at 91 with kidney failure unrelated to any heart issue. He was a 3 x week swimmer until the last year of his life. There are a lot of variables to consider.

Hi. Well I know quite a few, here in Wales, so I really don't think that can possibly be answered! 😊
