how long can you make a person wait for quadruple bypass

Dear nipperet

So many factors come into play to be able to answer that sort of question even by a professional medically trained personnel let alone us untrained ones.

All we can do is hopefully support you during your grief, many of us understand what that is like

Please take care

Not sure the criteria in Canada but I would think anywhere would be the cardiologist opinion on the urgency of conditions. And also the area you live and what is available. No two cases would I think be the same so really you cannot put a time scale on such a procedure b

i understand that but there is a time if you go to mayo clinic or europe there is a danger timeline which is 6-8 weeks max if it is your second bypass 12 weeks if its your first

I get your grief and frustration but in the UK (Scotland at least) the target time is six to eight weeks from first diagnosis from surgeon. I was five weeks due to HA unexpectedly. As I say I don’t think there is a set rule in the UK and even then it can be a post code lottery Please take care

thats what everyone say 6-8 weeks she went 8 months not good for her heart
