The terms single bypass, double bypass, triple bypass, quadruple bypass and quintuple bypass refer to the number of coronary arteries bypassed in the procedure. In other words, a double bypass means two coronary arteries are bypassed (e.g. the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and right coronary artery (RCA)); a triple bypass means three vessels are bypassed (e.g. LAD, RCA, left circumflex artery (LCX)); a quadruple bypass means four vessels are bypassed (e.g. LAD, RCA, LCX, first diagnonal artery of the LAD) while quintuple means five. Less commonly more than four coronary arteries may be bypassed.

I have had a Mitral Valve replacement 4 years ago. I was on a waiting list for a couple of years and have had hart problems for 43 years. Blood thinners stop the blood from coagulating the first part of the triple bypass is to cut his breast bone. If his blood did not clot they would have him cut open and be unable to continue with the surgery. You would be surprised how often it happens and the out come for people who's blood does not clot can involve lots of hospital visits and unhappiness. So it is vital to stop all blood thinning medication, ask the chemist about every cream and drop and tablet because a short stay is the only way to ensure a good outcome. If they were sending him home to die they would not stop his blood thinning medication. I got a letter in the mail saying I was booked in in the next 2 weeks and should be waiting for the call. The availability of beds and life support machines means that there is no point keeping someone in hospital and waiting for them to come off the blood thinners. No surgery can take place while he is on blood thinners so his long term survival just like everyone who has open hart surgery involves a bit of Russian Roulette. Wait for the call and all the best

a bypass surgery is when they take a vein from your leg, cut a section off and link two parts of one artery on your heart. The vein is used to allow the flow of blood over a blockage in your heart's arteries, which would cause a heart attack. Double, triple, quadruple bypass refers to the number of bypasses they have to do.

Heck there's even a quadruple bypass surgery. Google it and you can find out all about it. The next time you may want to ask medical questions in the health category.

A "triple" bypass refers to the number of coronary (heart) arteries that are bypassed. There are single, double, triple, and even quadruple bypasses.

triple by pass means using 3 arteries or veins to by pass the constriction in the heart. You could also have quadruple which means 4
