Typically there is no limit for heart bypass surgery. The decision for bypass surgery in an individual patient is made on case by case basis based on co-morbidities, patient age and patient preferences.
Nope. This is a common procedure performed on babies on the day they are born and on older adults in the 90's.
No age limit, but surgical risk increases with age, type of surgery, and other comorbid medical problems, if any.
