Vejthani Hospital is a renowned hospital in Thailand that provides international standards of care. The hospital is accredited by JCI. The center has experienced cardiac specialists who perform surgeries with a high success rate. The coronary artery bypass graft procedure is performed in cases of blocked arteries and build-up of cholesterol that may be causing problems in blood flow and oxygen delivery. The surgery is performed after a range of medical interventions like x-rays, blood tests, and an electrocardiogram.

The doctors may recommend that the patient avoid eating or drinking for some time before the operation, as the surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the open heart procedure, a cardio-thoracic surgeon will reach your heart by performing a thoracotomy (an incision is made beneath the left nipple) or median sternotomy (an incision is made down the length of the breastbone). While the surgeons work to repair the heart, a heart-lung machine is used to maintain continuous blood flow. During CABG, a vein or artery is grafted in place of the blocked artery to bypass the blood flow and avoid all the blockages. If there is more than one blockage in the heart, more than one graft is performed. Dr. Taweesak Chotivatanapong is a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon at Vejthani Hospital.
