About coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) uses a blood vessel from the chest, arm or leg to route blood around blocked coronary arteries. Experienced centres perform it as beating-heart (off-pump) surgery where appropriate.

Indian cardiac centres are known for very high CABG volumes, which is strongly linked with good outcomes.

Who is it for?

Patients with multiple blocked arteries, left-main disease or blockages not suitable for stenting.

Recovery

ICU for 1–2 days, discharge in about a week, return to light activity in 4–6 weeks.
