Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting surgery is also known by its initials CABG and pronounced as 'cabbage.' CABG surgery is done when the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscles are blocked. During coronary artery bypass surgery, your surgeon will use a healthy blood vessel from another part of your body to create an alternate route or bypass, the narrowed or blocked sections of your coronary arteries. This bypass allows required blood flow to reach your heart muscle so that heart can pump normally. The healthy blood vessel used to bypass the diseased coronary artery can be taken from within chest wall (mammary arteries) from arms (radial arteries) or from legs (saphenous veins). Venous CABG: all the by-pass grafts are venous i.e. taken from legs. Mixed CABG: atleast one arterial conduit and remaining venous conduits are used for bypass. Total arterial CABG: only arterial grafts (mammary arteries, radial arteries or gastroepiploic arteries) are used to bypass all targets. The new blood vessel is called a graft. The number of grafts in the surgery depends on the severity of coronary artery disease (we have three coronary arteries supplying out heart muscle) and the number of diseased coronary arteries. (Single vessel, double vessel or triple vessel disease). The Bypass surgery is done under general anesthesia which means patient remains unaware of the proceedings as he is made to sleep by medicine.
