Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery
Bypass surgery (CABG)
Coronary artery bypass surgery reroutes blood flow around a blocked artery using a graft from elsewhere in the body.
When this is typically needed
- Severe or multiple coronary artery blockages
- Angina not controlled by medication or angioplasty
- Recommended after cardiac evaluation
What it involves
Open-heart surgery using a graft vessel to bypass the blockage, typically requiring a hospital stay of about a week.
What to expect
Full recovery takes around 6-8 weeks, with cardiac rehabilitation playing a major role in getting back to normal activity.
