Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
A CABG is 'open-heart' surgery to treat coronary artery disease. A CABG uses a blood vessel (called a graft) taken from your chest, leg or arm to bypass a narrowed or blocked coronary artery.

If you have coronary artery disease, your coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked, restricting the supply of oxygen and nutrients. This starves the heart of oxygen, which causes angina. Angina is the feeling of chest pain, chest tightness and sometimes breathlessness or choking.

A CABG can bypass the blocked arteries so that blood can flow more easily. A new blood vessel (a graft) is attached from your aorta (your main artery) to a point in the coronary artery beyond the blockage. Your graft(s) can be created from blood vessels taken from your chest wall, leg or arm.
