Treatment Overview

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a quaternary surgical procedure performed to treat severe coronary heart disease. It involves harvesting a healthy blood vessel (graft) from the leg, chest, or arm, and attaching it beyond the blocked coronary artery. This creates an alternative pathway for oxygenated blood to reach the heart muscles.

Common Symptoms & Indications

  • Chronic chest tightness and pressure
  • Extreme fatigue with simple movements
  • Unexplained shortness of breath
  • Persistent high blood pressure

Expected Benefits

  • Relieves chest pain (angina) and shortness of breath
  • Restores active physical capacity
  • Minimizes the risk of future heart attacks
  • Extends life expectancy in patients with multi-vessel blockages

Risks & Complications

  • Infection at the chest incision site
  • Post-operative cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation)
  • Temporary memory loss or cognitive changes
  • Bleeding or reaction to general anesthesia

What Happens During the Procedure?

1

General Anesthesia

The patient is put to sleep under deep general anesthesia.

2

Vein Harvesting

The surgeon harvests the saphenous vein from the leg or the radial artery from the arm.

3

Sternotomy

An incision is made down the center of the chest to expose the heart.

4

Bypass Grafting

The harvested vessel is securely sewn to bypass the blocked coronary arteries.

Recovery Milestones
