CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery) is a procedure performed when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become severely blocked or narrowed. When lifestyle changes or medicines are not enough, doctors may recommend a Coronary Artery Bypass procedure to restore proper blood flow. This helps relieve chest pain, improve breathing, and reduce the risk of a heart attack. CABG is often advised after diagnostic tests like coronary angiography clearly show multiple or severe blockages.

During heart bypass surgery, a healthy blood vessel is taken from the leg, arm, or chest and used to create a new route—or bypass—around the blocked artery. This allows blood to flow freely to the heart muscle. Depending on the patient’s condition, CABG may be performed as beating-heart surgery or with a heart-lung machine. It is one of the most effective long-term treatments for advanced coronary artery disease.
