Bypass

Most of what you want is on the CAA website ...JAA medical
After six months you will need to do a Stress ECG , Echocardiogram,24 hr heart monitor,angiogram,check your cholesterol is controlled. then , if succesful one year coronary review with AME.
They need to agree that you have a less than one percent chance of heart attack, and the grafts have healed and there is no ischemia (reduced blood flow)
Have courage, these days less than .01 pilots lose their licences for medical reasons.
Those of us who have been bypassed, stented,pacemakered, are at least a known problem , unlike the many over 60's who have yet to realise why crew food, smoking , excessive drinking and casual s3x are just so bad for you!
Good luck.
