which valve needs replacement? 2nd degree block means AV block? i suppose. usually with thoracic epidural anaesthesia there is no pain perceived in post operative period . thanks

well freind, it depends on how many grafts are to be done, what areconduits planned, which are vessles to be grafted. whether onpump or offpump, what is pt’s lvef.usually if you plan awake surgery IMA harvesting is to be done extra pleuraly sparing pleura which is time consuming. usually a four graft case requires 6 hrs including anaesthetist time.
