What is bypassed in bypass?
A "bypass machine" bypasses the heart and pumps oxygenated blood around the body. It is used during open-heart surgery. A "coronary bypass" changes the route by which blood circulates to the heart. It is normally used when main blood vessels have become narrowed or blocked. This is what some people refer to as a "double bypass", "triple bypass", "quadruple bypass" etc... , depending on how many veins have to be re-routed. A "gastric bypass" (weight-loss surgery) involves a large section of the stomach and small intestine being bypassed, so that fewer calories can be absorbed.

When is bypass surgery needed?
It depends on the bypass. If you are talking about a cardiac bypass, then it should be done as soon as possible if necessary. A cardiac bypass is necessary if an artery supplying blood to the heart muscle is blocked. If you are talking about gastric bypass, I believe that is solely a recommendation/optional surgery to assist in a weight-loss plan. So, in short, it depends on the bypass in question.
How long do persons with heart by passes liv e?
Longer than you would have if you didnt have the bypass. A heart bypass just makes you normal again. Its not a curse or a disease. Something was wrong, they fixed it with surgury. The surgury can be serious because of how many bypasses are performed. A bypass takes a piece of blood vessle in the body somewhere (usually the leg) and uses it to replace a blocked vessle that supplies the heart with blood.
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

What are your specific risks during coronary artery disease surgery?
Risks and Complications of Heart SurgeryUnderstanding the Potential Risks of Heart SurgeryEvery open heart surgery presents the risk of complications specific to the procedure being performed, in addition to the general risks of surgery. The risks vary from one type of heart surgery to another (including pacemaker placement, coronary artery bypass grafting,congenital defect repair, valve repairs and more), and may be higher if the heart is stopped and blood is pumped by a cardiopulmonary bypass machine rather than by the heart during the procedure.
