Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Reviving life by restoring blood flow to the heart.
CABG is a life-saving surgical procedure used to treat severe blockages in the coronary arteries. By bypassing the clogged arteries using grafts (usually from the leg or chest), this surgery restores adequate blood flow to the heart muscle, relieving chest pain and reducing the risk of heart attacks.
Traditional CABG
Performed through a median sternotomy using grafts from the leg or chest artery.
Off-Pump (Beating Heart) CABG
Performed without stopping the heart, reducing complications in high-risk patients.
Robot-Assisted CABG
Utilizes robotic technology for precision, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery times.
Minimally Invasive CABG
Performed through small chest incisions without opening the breastbone, leading to faster recovery and less scarring.
Why Choose CABG?
- Improved quality of life and survival rate
- Reduces frequency of angina (chest pain)
- Better long-term outcome than stenting in complex blockages
- Option for minimally invasive bypass in select patients (MIDCAB)
Who Needs CABG?
Patients with severe coronary artery disease, multiple blockages, diabetes-related heart conditions, or who have failed stent procedures may be candidates for CABG. Our heart team will assess your angiogram and symptoms to determine the best approach.
