Has anyone had to have 2 bypass ops I'm nine year in but starting to get nit of pain got ecg tomoz see what's going on just wondered if it's common thank you

I don't know I have had stents only, which I hope stays that way, but hopefully it will be something simple and no invasive treatment needed. Good luck with the ecg🤞and hopefully you'll get other replies to your question.

I do remember someone on here mentioning they had already had two bypass operations. They seemed to get a good result.

I don't think it's that common though, certainly not seen through this site over the last couple of years

I think its possible to have more than one bypass operation but unlikely. It would be a hard surgery due to scar tissue and of course they would need to fine suit veins to graft again. My Bypass (triple) failed within days of surgery. I ended up with 4 stents. I was told I could never have surgery again but that's because all my grafts blocked. Yours have clearly been working well.

All the best

I had a CABGx4 in 2017. All three saphenous grafts had failed by June of this year. There was no prospect of a second CABG. I had 6 stents Stent procedures and technology have dramatically improved, and my outcome has been very good. Hopefully if it’s your grafts that have failed, or if you have atherosclerosis in new areas, stents may solve the problem better than a CABG.
