Long-term outlook for open-heart surgery

Expect a gradual recovery. It may take up to six weeks before you start feeling better, and up to six months to feel the full benefits of the surgery. However, the outlook is good for many people, and the grafts can work for many years.
​
Nevertheless, surgery does not prevent artery blockage from happening again. You can help improve your heart health by:
​
-
eating a healthy diet
-
cutting back on foods high in salt, fat, and sugar
-
leading a more active lifestyle
-
not smoking
-
controlling high blood pressure and high cholesterol
