CABG
CABG, or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, is a surgical procedure used to improve blood flow to the heart. It involves taking a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body and using it to bypass blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. This helps restore adequate blood supply to the heart muscle, which can alleviate symptoms like chest pain and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
The procedure is typically recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease. CABG can be performed using traditional open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the patient's condition and the surgeon's expertise. Recovery may involve a hospital stay and a rehabilitation program to promote heart health.
