Bypass Surgery at MaAx Super Speciality Hospital
What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done
Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is performed to restore blood flow to the heart when coronary arteries are blocked or severely narrowed. At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, this procedure is recommended for patients with advanced coronary artery disease, multiple blockages, or those who are not suitable candidates for angioplasty.
The surgery creates a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle, reducing chest pain (angina), improving heart function, and lowering the risk of heart attack.
How the Treatment Is Performed
- A healthy blood vessel (usually from the leg, arm, or chest) is harvested.
- The surgeon attaches this vessel to bypass the blocked artery, creating a new route for blood flow.
- The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and may take 3–6 hours.
- Patients are monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery.
Recovery involves a hospital stay of 5–7 days, followed by cardiac rehabilitation.
