Triple bypass that went bad within a year
Has anyone? Had a triple bypass that went bad within a year?
I had a triple bypass in June 2025.
One year later, after feeling very weak and fatigued for about two weeks then had heart pain I went to the ER.
It was determined that the triple bypass did not go well.
One of the grass was 100% blocked and the second graft was inoperative.
A stent was placed above the bypass area and was discharged with the comment that they would try to manage with medication.
Two months later, after filling the same was back at ER.
Test showed that all was fine and discharged with the same that will manage with medication.
I’m starting to wonder if I should get a second opinion.
I am visually impaired beyond legally blind, and also have a small lower abdominal dissected aorta with small aneurysm. . I didn’t know where to address the bypass question.

A second opinion would be a good start in my opinion. Is your cardiologist monitoring your condition and progression?
In reply to livoak
Yes, my cardiologist has been following and addressing the progression of my condition. He is the one that place the first stent and made me aware of my heart and vascular problems.
He’s the one that referred me as a candidate for triple bypass and later made me aware of that triple bypass had failed..
I’ve spoken directly to him and asked questions. What are my options yet? I’m not getting the answers.
I was hoping that maybe someone else has had the same problem in which their bypass had failed within a short period of time it could offer some options or solutions to the problem. If there is any.
I feel I am being left in the dark
