Coronary
Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is an open heart surgery procedure
which entails the rerouting of blood flow through healthier
vessels. This procedure uses a saphenous vein from the leg,
an existing artery in the chest wall or an artery from the
wrist as a bypass tube. One end of the vessel is connected
to the aorta where the coronary artery originates or to an
open area of approximal coronary artery, below the blockage
area. The average number of arteries bypassed is four or five.
Our cardiac surgeons have outstanding reputation in performing
coronary artery bypass grafting. Surgeons have extensive experience
in the use of various arterial conduits for myocardial revascularization,
including the internal mammary artery or an artery from the
arm, the radial artery. Our surgeons are also recognized leaders
in the rapidly emerging field of minimally invasive heart
surgery.
