That depends on how long the surgery goes on for, how complex it is, how good the surgeon is, the size of the patient, whether there is any scar tissue build up from other surgeries, and a few other random variables.

With any kind of open heart surgery, it is pretty much certain that it will be necessary to transfuse some additional blood (or blood products). However some hospitals will allow you to donate your own blood over a few months before the operation, which can then be transfused back in to you during the operation. Although this option isn't suitable for everyone.
