Full Details
What is Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting?
CABG is a surgical procedure that creates new routes for blood to flow to the heart muscle by bypassing blocked coronary arteries. The surgeon uses a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body (usually the leg, arm, or chest) to create a graft around the blockage.
When is CABG Recommended?
Patients with severe coronary artery disease, multiple blockages, or left main coronary artery disease are ideal candidates. CABG is often preferred over stenting for patients with diabetes or complex multi-vessel disease.
Recovery After Bypass Surgery
Most patients stay in the hospital for 5-7 days. Full recovery takes 6-12 weeks. Cardiac rehabilitation is recommended to strengthen the heart and improve long-term outcomes.
Why Needed?
Recommended for patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease. CABG restores adequate blood flow, preventing severe heart failure.
Indicative Symptoms
- •Squeezing chest pain (angina) during exertion
- •Shortness of breath and lack of air when walking
- •Fatigue and heart rhythm disturbances
- •History of previous myocardial infarction
Timeline Urgency
High urgency: Delaying surgery increases risk of irreversible heart muscle damage or sudden arrest.
Recovery Timeline
Phase 1: Cardiac ICU
Post-operative stabilization in specialized ICU under cardiac surgeons oversight.
Phase 2: Ward and Walk
Transfer to ward, monitor wound healing, ECG tracking, and start light walking.
Phase 3: Light Activities
