coronary bypass surgery

Coronary bypass surgery is a procedure to improve blood flow to the heart muscle by creating new pathways around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. Surgeons take healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body, like the leg or chest, and graft them onto the heart to bypass the obstructions. This helps restore adequate oxygen and nutrient supply to the heart, reducing symptoms like chest pain and lowering the risk of heart attack. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and aims to improve heart function and overall quality of life.
