Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Additional Insights

• 

  Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a heart surgery used to improve blood flow to the heart. It involves taking a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body and using it to create a new pathway, or "bypass," around blocked arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. This helps to relieve chest pain and reduce the risk of heart attacks. CABG is often performed when lifestyle changes and medications are not enough to manage heart disease. It is a common procedure that can significantly improve heart function and overall quality of life.

  Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure used to improve blood flow to the heart. It involves creating a new pathway around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. Surgeons use a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, such as the leg or chest, to bypass the blockage. This helps relieve symptoms of heart disease, like chest pain, and can reduce the risk of heart attacks. CABG is often recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease when other treatments, like medication, are insufficient.
