Cardiac Bypass Surgery

Cardiac bypass surgery is a procedure to improve blood flow to the heart. When arteries that supply blood become blocked or narrowed due to build-up of plaque, the heart has trouble getting enough oxygen. During the surgery, a surgeon creates a new path around the blocked arteries using a vessel taken from another part of the body, often the leg or chest. This bypass allows blood to flow freely to the heart muscle, reducing symptoms like chest pain and improving heart function. The goal is to restore healthy blood circulation and prevent heart attacks.
