Cardiac Surgery
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is often performed on people who have chest pains and coronary artery disease. During the surgery, a bypass is created by grafting a piece of a vein above and below the blocked area of a coronary artery, enabling blood to flow around the obstruction. Veins are usually taken from the leg, but arteries or veins from other parts of your body may also be used to create a bypass graft. CABG can be performed with ( On Pump) or without ( Off Pump or Beating Heart) the heart lung machine.
