When people who have already had heart surgery are told that they need a second operation, they naturally feel some anxiety.
Questions arise such as: "Can I have heart surgery again? Won't it harm my health?"
Dear patients! If necessary, heart surgery can be performed 2–3 times. If your doctor, a specialist in this field, considers it necessary, do not be afraid to give your heart a second or third chance.
Heart surgery can be performed a second time if needed, whether as open-heart surgery through the breastbone or with a minimally invasive approach through the side of the chest under the armpit.
Although the level of risk is higher in repeat operations than in the first one, the success rate is also high.
