Heart Surgery Services in Indore

A coronary artery bypass graft may be necessary for people with coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease occurs when the blood vessels that provide blood and oxygen to the heart muscle become narrow and hard. This is often called “hardening of the arteries.” Hardening occurs when fatty material forms a plaque on the walls of the coronary arteries. This plaque narrows the arteries, making it difficult for blood to get through. When blood can’t flow properly to the heart, a heart attack may occur. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is performed to restore blood flow through the vessels that supply blood to the heart. During the surgery, a conduit is taken from chest wall (Internal mammary artery), or hand ( Radial Artery) or from the leg(Saphanous vein), and anastamosed across an area of severe narrowing or blockage, thus bypassing the diseased area. The blood is rerouted through the healthy vessel, and blood flow is restored to the heart muscle.
