Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Coronary artery bypass grafting is a common surgical procedure used to treat blocked coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. The goal of treatment is to improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms of coronary artery disease.

What is CABG? CABG is a surgical procedure in which a new pathway is created for blood to flow around a blocked coronary artery using a healthy blood vessel taken from another part of the body.

This new pathway helps restore blood supply and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle.

When is this surgery recommended?

CABG may be recommended in cases such as:

• Severe blockage of coronary arteries
• Multiple narrowed heart arteries
• Persistent angina despite medication
• Certain cases not suitable for coronary stenting


How is the procedure performed?

The surgery generally involves:

• Taking a healthy blood vessel from the leg, chest, or arm
• Using this vessel to bypass the blocked coronary artery
• Restoring proper blood flow to the heart muscle


Benefits of the procedure

CABG surgery can help:

• Improve blood flow to the heart
• Reduce chest pain symptoms
• Improve daily activity levels
• Lower the risk of serious cardiac complications


Recovery

After surgery, patients usually require:

• Hospital monitoring
• Cardiac rehabilitation programs
• Regular medical follow-up


A Message to Patients

If you have severe blockage in your coronary arteries,
CABG surgery may help restore blood flow to your heart and improve your quality of life.
