Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Surgery

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure that improves blood flow to the heart. It is performed for patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD), where fatty deposits (plaques) cause blockages in the heart’s arteries. CABG restores blood supply to the heart muscle by creating a new route (bypass) around the blocked arteries, using blood vessels taken from another part of the body.

When Do You Need CABG Surgery?

• Severe chest pain (angina) caused by narrowed coronary arteries.
• Multiple blocked or narrowed arteries that cannot be treated with angioplasty or stenting.
• Blockage in the left main coronary artery or multiple major vessels.
• Reduced heart function due to coronary artery disease.
• Emergency cases such as heart attack with severe blockages.

Types of CABG Procedures

• On-Pump CABG – performed using a heart-lung machine.
• Off-Pump CABG (Beating Heart Surgery) – avoids use of the machine, faster recovery.
• Minimally Invasive CABG – smaller cuts, less pain, shorter hospital stay.
• Total Arterial CABG – uses only arterial grafts (e.g., internal mammary artery, radial artery) for long-term benefits.
