Coronary Bypass Grafting

Coronary Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure 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 path, or bypass, around blocked arteries in the heart. This helps restore proper blood circulation, reducing symptoms like chest pain and lowering the risk of heart attacks. CABG is often recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease when other treatments, such as medications or angioplasty, are less effective. Recovery typically involves rehabilitation and lifestyle changes to promote heart health.
