Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)

Coronary artery bypass surgery, commonly known as bypass surgery, is a procedure used to treat blocked or narrowed coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. The goal of treatment is to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms of coronary artery disease.

What is bypass surgery? Bypass surgery is a procedure in which a new pathway is created for blood to flow around a blocked artery using a healthy blood vessel taken from another part of the body, such as the leg, chest, or arm.

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

When is bypass surgery recommended?

Doctors may recommend this surgery in cases such as:

• Severe blockage in coronary arteries
• Narrowing of multiple heart arteries
• Persistent chest pain despite medical treatment
• Cases not suitable for coronary stenting


How is the procedure performed?

The surgery generally includes:

• Taking a healthy blood vessel from the body
• Creating a new pathway around the blocked artery
• Restoring blood flow to the heart muscle


Benefits of the procedure

Bypass surgery can help:

• Improve blood flow to the heart
• Reduce chest pain symptoms
• Improve daily activity levels
• Lower the risk of serious heart 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 heart arteries,
bypass surgery may help restore blood flow and improve your quality of life.
