When Is It Needed?
Severe Blockages
Coronary arteries blocked by plaque limit oxygen to the heart, causing chest pain, fatigue, and breathlessness; bypass surgery restores circulation and prevents further heart damage.
Recurrent Angina
Persistent chest pain despite medications suggests severe coronary artery narrowing; CABG restores blood supply, prevents complications, and improves quality of life.
Heart Attack Risk
CABG is performed when blockages significantly increase the risk of heart attack, restoring circulation, improving heart health, and preventing future cardiac emergencies.
Multiple Blockages
When several arteries are narrowed or blocked, bypass surgery is necessary to restore blood flow, reduce risks, and improve long-term survival.
Failed Angioplasty
CABG is recommended when stents or angioplasty fail, providing a permanent solution that restores blood circulation and strengthens cardiac function.
Severe Symptoms
Patients experiencing fatigue, breathlessness, and dizziness due to coronary artery disease benefit from CABG, restoring heart function and improving daily activity.
Advanced Heart Treatments
Procedure and Process Treatment
Traditional CABG
Healthy vessels from chest or leg are grafted to bypass blocked arteries, restoring blood flow, reducing angina, and improving long-term survival outcomes.
Minimally Invasive CABG
Performed through smaller incisions, this approach reduces pain, shortens hospital stay, minimizes risks, and supports quicker recovery compared to open-heart surgery.
Off Pump CABG
This method avoids heart-lung machines, reducing complications, improving recovery, and offering a safer alternative for patients with multiple coronary blockages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery uses healthy blood vessels to reroute circulation around blocked arteries, restoring oxygen flow, relieving symptoms, and improving survival for patients with advanced coronary artery disease.
Recovery usually requires weeks of rest and rehabilitation. With proper follow-up, healthy lifestyle changes, and guidance, patients return to normal activity and experience long-term cardiac health improvements.
CABG is required when coronary arteries are severely blocked, symptoms persist despite treatment, or when angioplasty fails, ensuring proper blood circulation, reduced complications, and improved long-term survival.
As with all major surgeries, risks include infection, bleeding, or complications. With expert care and proper monitoring, CABG outcomes are safe, reliable, and highly successful worldwide.
Yes, elderly patients may undergo CABG after thorough evaluation. With tailored surgical approaches and advanced monitoring, older individuals achieve safe recovery and significant improvement in quality of life.
Preparation includes diagnostic tests, medical evaluation, and lifestyle adjustments. Following doctor’s guidance on medications and health care ensures smoother surgery, safer recovery, and improved long-term cardiac results.
Patients should follow heart-healthy diets, quit smoking, exercise regularly, and take prescribed medications. These lifestyle changes prevent complications, improve recovery, and support long-term heart health success.
CABG surgery has high success rates globally. Patients experience significant relief from symptoms, restored circulation, reduced risk of heart attack, and improved survival with proper medical follow-up and care.
