Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)is generally performed on an individual with coronary artery disease involving blockage of one or more blocked vessels, which supply blood to the heart. Coronary artery patients see the cardiologist to get treatment of critical occlusions caused due to calcium or cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries. It is called a lifestyle disease and carries several risk factors such as uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and a family history of coronary artery disease, as well as lack of exercise.

CABG involves the use of a graft (which is a blood vessel extracted from another part of the body) to bypass the obstruction or a blockage in the artery. Surgeons would recommend a certain type of coronary artery bypass graft procedure depending on the severity of CAD, but for all kinds of CABG, the common steps include attaching a graft to the coronary artery in the blocked region of the artery to bypass the blockage. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) is the most common surgical treatment for the treatment of coronary artery disease. After this procedure is performed, most patients are found to be symptom-free for around 10 years.
