CABG (Coronary Artery By-Pass Grafting) Procedure
Homepage / Cardiology or Cardiac Surgery / CABG (Coronary Artery By-Pass Grafting) Procedure
This is a surgical procedure for treating conditions like angina where the main problems are narrowing of the coronary arteries from fatty deposits in these vessels which then obstruct blood flow to the heart muscle. This causes the heart muscle to starve of oxygen, thus causing angina pain. A complete blockage, called coronary thombosis, causes a heart attack (MI or myocardial infarction), where the heart muscle starts to die and is irreversible. It is therefore vital to correct any partial blockage before a complete obstruction occurs.

Description of CABG (Coronary Artery By-Pass Grafting) Procedure
Coronary Artery By-pass Grafting (CAGB) involves removing veins from other parts from the patients own body, most commonly from legs or the chest wall and inserting them by microsurgery around the blocked heart vessel so that blood flows through these new channels instead. A number of blood vessels can be replaced at the same time. For example, a triple heart by-pass replaces 3 coronary arteries.
The latest techniques involve doing this through a keyhole (laparoscopic) incision while the heart is still pumping as this aids greatly in recover times. Tradtionally, a large incision through the centre of the chest, over and through the breast bone (sternum) was made, the heart stopped and the patient but onto a by-pass machine, but recovery took longer due to the extent of the trauma to the chest wall.
This procedure is particularly useful when other methods such as angioplasty are not suitable or have failed.
