What is CABG Surgery?
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a heart surgery performed to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. In this procedure, a healthy blood vessel (usually taken from the leg, arm, or chest) is used to bypass the blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, allowing oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscle efficiently.
When is CABG Recommended?
Severe coronary artery disease (CAD) causing multiple blockages in heart arteries
Chest pain (angina) not relieved by medication or angioplasty
Left main coronary artery disease
Poor heart function due to reduced blood supply
Previous stent or angioplasty failure
High risk of heart attack due to critical arterial blockages
Common Signs and Symptoms Indicating CABG May Be Needed
Persistent chest pain or pressure (angina), especially during exertion
Shortness of breath even at rest or during mild activity
Fatigue and weakness due to reduced heart efficiency
Palpitations or irregular heartbeats
Dizziness or fainting episodes
Swelling in legs or ankles due to poor circulation
