Objective: to examine changes brought about by myocardial revascularization surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, CABG) and self-care by revascularized individuals. Method: in this qualitative study of ten individuals post-CABG at a teaching hospital in southern Brazil, data were collected by narrative interview and submitted to thematic analysis. Results: analysis revealed the category “changes caused by CABG, and revascularized individuals self-care” with the subcategories “now I take care of myself”; “care as two-way process”; “care as imposition”; “valuing life”; “changed attitude in relationships”; and “closest relatives”. Conclusion: after surgery, individuals begin to rethink their attitudes to themselves and other people, valuing their life, health and family. Material possessions and everyday problems become less relevant, and individuals endeavor to act in ways that bring pleasure and well-being.
