Before & After Surgery
Open-heart surgery requires opening the chest wall to make the heart easier for the surgeon to reach. To access the heart, surgeons cut through the sternum (breastbone) and spread the ribs. Sometimes people call this cracking the chest. Open-heart surgery is a reliable way for surgeons to perform heart surgery. Older people, women, and those with serious diseases, such as diabetes or lung disease, are at higher risk for complications. Open heart surgery typically takes three to five hours. During the procedure, your surgeon will make an incision down the middle of your breastbone, about 7 to 8 inches long. Open-heart surgeries usually require a hospital stay of four to five days. Once you're released from the hospital, it usually takes six to eight weeks for your breastbone and chest muscles to heal as you return, gradually, to a normal daily routine.Question and Answer
