Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a surgical procedure that improves blood flow to the heart. It is used to treat angina (chest pain), shortness of breath, and other symptoms of coronary artery disease.
CABG is performed by grafting a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to the coronary artery that is blocked or narrowed. This allows blood to bypass the blockage and flow to the heart muscle.
CABG is a major surgery, but it is usually successful in relieving angina and improving symptoms of coronary artery disease. The long-term survival rate after CABG is excellent.
