Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), often called heart bypass surgery, is one of the most common and successful treatments for patients suffering from severe coronary artery disease. When arteries supplying blood to the heart become blocked or narrowed, oxygen delivery to the heart muscle reduces, leading to chest pain, fatigue, or even a heart attack.

During CABG, a healthy blood vessel from the patient’s leg or chest is used to bypass the blocked artery, restoring smooth blood flow to the heart. This procedure improves heart function, reduces symptoms, and significantly enhances quality of life.

Dr. Asher George Joseph, one of Bangalore’s leading cardiothoracic surgeons, has performed numerous complex CABG procedures with exceptional outcomes. His focus on precision, patient safety, and post-surgical recovery ensures that each patient receives the best possible care.

After surgery, most patients stay in the hospital for about a week and can resume normal activities in six to twelve weeks. With proper lifestyle changes, medications, and follow-up care, CABG can offer long-term relief and excellent heart health outcomes.
