Hey guys. My friend's dad had a CABG Thursday morning after having some chest pain and a cardiac cath. He had to have 8 grafts and the doctor said it was the worst case he has ever done. He is still in ICU on the ventilator and sedated. This guy is in his 50s and a small, active guy. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of someone having this many grafts? The most I've heard of is 4, but I'm no heart nurse!!

Wow. I am impressed by his will to live, but what a horrendous case.
