Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgery to improve blood flow to the heart. When the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup, it can cause chest pain or heart attacks. During CABG, surgeons take a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, such as the leg or chest, and use it to create a new pathway for blood to bypass the blocked artery. This helps restore adequate blood flow to the heart muscle, improving heart function and reducing symptoms associated with coronary artery disease.
