What is Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)?
Open-heart surgery that reroutes blood around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries using a healthy blood vessel graft, restoring adequate blood flow to the heart muscle.

Why Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Is Needed
Performed for significant coronary artery disease, usually involving multiple blocked or severely narrowed coronary arteries, when the blockages are too extensive or complex for angioplasty and stenting alone to adequately treat. It's especially recommended for triple-vessel disease, left main coronary artery blockage, or in patients with diabetes and extensive coronary disease, where bypass has shown better long-term outcomes.
Signs You May Need Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Chest pain with exertion, shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced exercise tolerance are common symptoms, with some patients experiencing a prior heart attack before the extent of coronary disease is identified. Symptoms that persist or worsen despite medication and less invasive treatment often prompt evaluation for bypass surgery.
Types of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Traditional CABG uses a healthy blood vessel graft, usually from the internal mammary artery or a leg vein, to reroute blood flow around blocked coronary arteries, performed through open-heart surgery with the heart sometimes stopped and supported by a heart-lung machine. Off-pump beating-heart CABG performs the same bypass grafting while the heart continues beating, avoiding the heart-lung machine in select suitable patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is CABG different from angioplasty?
CABG is open-heart surgery that reroutes blood flow around blockages using a graft, generally used for more extensive multi-vessel disease, while angioplasty is a less invasive catheter-based procedure for more localized blockages.
How long is the hospital stay and recovery?
Hospital stay is typically 5-7 days, with full recovery and return to normal activities taking 6-12 weeks, including cardiac rehabilitation.
Is off-pump CABG safer than traditional CABG?
Both approaches have good outcomes; off-pump avoids the heart-lung machine and may benefit certain higher-risk patients, but the choice depends on your specific anatomy and your surgeon's assessment.
Will I need medication after bypass surgery?
Yes, medications like statins, blood thinners, and blood pressure control are typically continued long-term to protect the grafts and reduce further plaque buildup.
How long do bypass grafts typically last?
Arterial grafts often last well over a decade, while vein grafts may have a shorter lifespan, which is one reason for long-term risk-factor management after surgery.
