About this treatment
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a heart surgery performed to treat severe coronary artery disease. The procedure involves taking a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body and using it to bypass blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. This improves oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart muscle, reduces chest pain, and lowers the risk of heart attack. CABG is commonly recommended for patients with multiple artery blockages or severe cardiac symptoms not controlled by medications or angioplasty.
