Cardiac Bypass Surgery
Cardiac Bypass Surgery is a medical procedure used to improve blood flow to the heart. It involves creating a new pathway for blood to bypass blocked or narrowed arteries, often due to coronary artery disease. Surgeons use a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, such as the leg or chest, to create this bypass.
During the surgery, the patient is placed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision in the chest to access the heart and perform the bypass. This procedure can relieve symptoms like chest pain and improve overall heart function, enhancing the patient's quality of life.
