CABG

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) at Park Hospitals is a surgical procedure performed to improve blood flow to the heart in patients with severe coronary artery disease. The surgery is commonly recommended when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup, reducing oxygen supply to the heart muscle. CABG helps restore healthy blood circulation by creating an alternate pathway for blood flow, reducing the risk of heart attack and improving overall cardiac function.

Before recommending surgery, cardiac specialists conduct detailed evaluations through electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiography, coronary angiography, blood investigations, stress testing, and other cardiac imaging procedures to assess the severity and location of arterial blockages. Symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, and reduced physical endurance are carefully evaluated before planning the most suitable treatment approach. The procedure is generally advised for patients with multiple blocked coronary arteries or severe narrowing that cannot be effectively managed through medication or angioplasty alone.

During the surgery, a healthy blood vessel is taken from another part of the body, commonly the leg, arm, or chest, and grafted to bypass the blocked coronary artery. This newly created pathway allows blood to flow around the blockage and reach the heart muscle more effectively. Depending on the patient’s condition, the surgery may involve bypassing one or multiple blocked arteries. Advanced surgical techniques and continuous cardiac monitoring help surgeons perform the procedure with precision while maintaining patient safety throughout the operation.

One of the major advantages of CABG is improved blood supply to the heart, significant relief from chest pain, and reduced risk of serious cardiac complications. Many patients experience better physical activity tolerance, improved heart function, and enhanced quality of life following recovery. Post-surgical rehabilitation, lifestyle modifications, heart-healthy nutrition, medication management, and supervised physical activity also play an important role in supporting long-term cardiovascular health after surgery.

With advanced cardiac surgery facilities, experienced cardiothoracic surgeons, and comprehensive rehabilitation support, Park Hospitals provides specialized care for patients undergoing CABG surgery. Timely diagnosis and expert surgical intervention can help restore cardiac function, improve circulation, and support long-term heart health and recovery.
