CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery)
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a proven and life-saving surgical procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease (CAD). It is recommended when coronary arteries become significantly narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and increasing the risk of heart attack.
Under expert cardiac evaluation and guidance, CABG helps restore healthy blood flow to the heart, relieve symptoms, and significantly improve long-term survival.
What Is CABG?
CABG is a surgical procedure in which a healthy blood vessel (graft) is taken from another part of the body—such as the chest, arm, or leg—and used to bypass the blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. This creates a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle efficiently.
When Is CABG Recommended?
CABG may be advised in patients with:
- Severe blockages in multiple coronary arteries
- Left main coronary artery disease
- Failed angioplasty or stent procedures
- Diabetes with complex coronary artery disease
- Reduced heart pumping function
- Recurrent chest pain (angina) despite medications
Symptoms Indicating Need for CABG
- Persistent chest pain or pressure
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue with minimal activity
- History of heart attack
- Reduced exercise tolerance
Early evaluation by an experienced cardiologist is critical to determine the right treatment approach.
