CABG guidelines

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) guidelines recommend surgery for people with severe coronary artery disease, especially when medications and less invasive procedures haven't effectively relieved symptoms or reduced risks. The procedure involves taking healthy blood vessels from elsewhere in the body to create a new pathway around blocked coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart. Factors like the extent of artery blockages, overall health, and presence of other conditions guide the decision. CABG aims to decrease chest pain, improve heart function, and reduce the risk of heart attacks, often providing better outcomes for patients with complex blockages.
