Heart Bypass Surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is a surgical procedure used to restore normal blood flow to the heart when one or more coronary arteries become blocked or narrowed due to coronary artery disease. During the procedure, the surgeon uses a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to create a new pathway for blood to flow around the blocked artery. This improves blood circulation, relieves chest pain (angina), reduces the risk of heart attack, and enhances overall heart function.
Severe Coronary Artery Disease
Patients with multiple blocked or significantly narrowed coronary arteries that restrict blood flow to the heart.
Persistent Chest Pain
Individuals experiencing frequent angina or symptoms that do not improve with medications, lifestyle changes, or less invasive procedures such as angioplasty.
High Risk of Heart Complications
Patients who have suffered a heart attack or have reduced heart function and require improved blood flow to prevent future cardiac events.
Pre-Surgical Evaluation
Your cardiac team conducts diagnostic tests such as ECG, echocardiogram, coronary angiography, blood tests, and overall health assessments to plan the surgery.
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon uses a healthy blood vessel from the chest, arm, or leg to bypass the blocked coronary artery, restoring adequate blood flow to the heart.
Recovery & Cardiac Rehabilitation
Following surgery, patients are closely monitored in the ICU before beginning a structured recovery program that includes medications, lifestyle modifications, and cardiac rehabilitation.

Your Treatment Journey
Before Procedure
- You will undergo a comprehensive cardiac evaluation and imaging tests.
- Your doctor may advise stopping certain medications and fasting before surgery.
- The surgical team will explain the procedure, risks, and recovery process.
During Procedure
- The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 3–6 hours, depending on the number of bypasses required.
- Healthy blood vessels are grafted to bypass blocked coronary arteries.
- You will be closely monitored throughout the operation.
After Procedure
- Most patients stay in the ICU for 1–2 days, followed by a hospital stay of 5–7 days.
- Gradual recovery includes walking, breathing exercises, and participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
- Most patients return to normal daily activities within 6–12 weeks, depending on their overall health and recovery progress.
