Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a life-saving procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease. It improves blood flow to the heart by diverting blood around narrowed or clogged arteries using a healthy blood vessel from the leg, arm, or chest. It significantly reduces the risk of heart attack and relieves chest pain (angina).

Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG) may be recommended when conservative treatments have not been effective. Common reasons include: chest pain, shortness of breath, blocked arteries. Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition through physical examination and diagnostic tests to determine if this surgery is the right option for you.
Common Symptoms:
The surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel (graft) from another part of your body. Depending on the severity, the surgery may be performed 'on-pump' (using a heart-lung machine) or 'off-pump' (beating heart surgery). The graft is attached above and below the blocked artery, creating a new pathway for blood flow.
Before Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG): 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Patients typically spend 1-2 days in the ICU and 5-7 days in the hospital. Full recovery takes 6-12 weeks. Cardiac rehabilitation is strongly recommended to strengthen the heart and establish a heart-healthy lifestyle.
After Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG): 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Coronary Artery Bypass (CABG) carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
