What is Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting?
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a major heart surgery that creates new routes, or 'bypasses', around narrowed or blocked coronary arteries using grafts from the patient's own veins or arteries. It is recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease, multi-vessel blockages, or left main artery disease to restore adequate blood flow to the heart muscle and reduce the risk of heart attack. India's leading cardiac centres perform high volumes of CABG surgeries annually with outcomes comparable to Western hospitals at a fraction of the cost.
Who may be considered?
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
The heart is temporarily stopped and a heart-lung bypass machine maintains circulation while the surgeon grafts new vessels around blocked arteries. This is the most established technique, suitable for complex multi-vessel disease.
Conventional (On-Pump) CABG
Most CommonThe heart is temporarily stopped and a heart-lung bypass machine maintains circulation while the surgeon grafts new vessels around blocked arteries. This is the most established technique, suitable for complex multi-vessel disease.

Recovery and follow-up
Most patients are mobilized within 24-48 hours after surgery, spend about a week in hospital, and are advised to avoid strenuous activity and driving for 4-6 weeks while undergoing a structured cardiac rehabilitation program. Regular follow-up with ECG and echocardiogram is recommended to monitor graft function and overall heart health.
Risks
As with any major cardiac surgery, CABG carries risks including bleeding, infection, arrhythmias, stroke, kidney dysfunction, and, rarely, graft failure or heart attack. Careful pre-operative evaluation and experienced surgical teams significantly reduce these risks in most patients.
Alternatives
Depending on the severity and pattern of coronary blockages, alternatives may include percutaneous coronary intervention (angioplasty with stenting) or optimal medical management with lifestyle changes. The cardiologist and cardiac surgeon jointly determine the most suitable option based on angiography findings.
