Frequently Asked Questions about Heart Bypass Surgery (CABG)

Q1. Why do people get coronary bypass surgery?

A1. When atherosclerosis (a build-up of fatty deposits) causes the coronary arteries to narrow or become clogged, coronary bypass surgery is performed to restore blood flow to the heart. By grafting blood vessels from other areas of the body, it circumvents the clogged arteries and creates new routes for blood to get to the heart muscle.

Q2. With cardiac bypass surgery, what problems can be treated?

A2. Treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD), angina (chest pain), and heart attack prevention are the main goals of CABG. When all other treatments have failed or in certain cases of severe heart valve dysfunction, it can also be done.

Q3. Who is in need of heart bypass surgery?

A3. For those whose severe coronary artery blockages are not effectively controlled by medicine or other less invasive treatments, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is advised. The individual's general health and the severity of the illness are taken into consideration while deciding whether to undergo CABG.
