About this Procedure
CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting), also called heart bypass surgery, is an operation to improve blood flow to the heart. The surgeon takes healthy blood vessels from another part of the body, usually the leg or chest, and attaches them so that blood can flow around narrowed or blocked sections of the coronary arteries.
It treats coronary heart disease, where the arteries supplying the heart become narrowed by fatty deposits. It may be recommended when several arteries are affected, when angina is not controlled by medicines, or when angioplasty and stenting are not suitable. Your cardiologist and cardiac surgeon decide after reviewing your angiogram.
CABG is done under general anaesthetic. It is usually performed as open-heart surgery through a cut down the centre of the chest, and sometimes through smaller cuts using keyhole techniques. The heart is often connected to a heart-lung bypass machine during the operation, and up to 4 grafts may be needed. According to the NHS, the operation usually takes 3 to 6 hours, most people spend about a week in hospital, and full recovery usually takes 2 to 3 months, with most normal activities possible after about 6 weeks.
