Heart disease surgery is not suitable for everyone. Making lifestyle changes and taking medicine or having angioplasty can work just as well for some patients. And these methods carry fewer risks than heart disease surgery.The goals of surgery are to improve the blood flow to the heart, relieve angina and improve your chances of living a longer life. Most of the time, people with serious heart disease benefit more from bypass surgery than from angioplasty. Your treatment will depend in part on how many arteries are blocked, how badly the arteries are blocked, and where. It is important to understand the benefits and risks of angioplasty versus bypass surgery. No matter what treatment you receive, you will still need to make changes in the way you eat, live and exercise. These changes will give you the best chance of living a longer, healthier life.
