It depends on the bypass. If you are talking about a cardiac bypass, then it should be done as soon as possible if necessary.

How is bypass heart surgery done?
Heart bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass surgery, aims to replace damaged arteries in the heart. A surgeon uses blood vessels from another area of the body to repair the damaged arteries. This surgery is used when the coronary arteries become blocked or damaged. The coronary arteries supply the heart's muscles with oxygenated blood. If they are blocked or the flow of blood is restricted, the heart can't function properly. This can lead to heart failure
Heart bypass surgery incision?
Minimally invasive heart bypass surgery is done without stopping the heart and putting the patient on a heart-lung machine. A 3 to 5 inch incision is made in the left part of the chest between the ribs. This incision is much less traumatic than the traditional heart bypass surgery incision which separates the breast bone. Minimally invasive heart bypass surgery allows the patient less pain and a faster recovery.Reviewed ByReview Date: 03/21/2009David C.
