Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly known as heart bypass surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to restore blood flow in severely narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. When significant blockages develop due to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), patients may experience chest pain (angina), breathlessness, fatigue, or heart attack.
During CABG, a healthy blood vessel is taken from the chest, leg, or arm and grafted to create a new pathway around the blocked artery. This allows blood to bypass the obstruction and reach the heart muscle effectively.
The procedure improves blood circulation to the heart, relieves symptoms, enhances heart function, and reduces the risk of major cardiac events in appropriately selected patients.

4–6 Weeks
$5,500 – $12,500*
*Cost varies depending on number of grafts required, surgical technique, patient condition, hospital category, and associated medical needs.
The procedure is conducted in a specialized cardiac operating theatre by an experienced cardiothoracic surgical team.
Step-by-step process
1. General Anesthesia
The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the surgery.
2. Surgical Access
A midline chest incision is made to access the heart safely.
3. Graft Harvesting
Healthy blood vessels are removed from the chest wall, leg, or arm for use as bypass grafts.
4. Cardiopulmonary Support (if required)
In conventional CABG, a heart-lung machine temporarily takes over circulation while the surgeon operates. In selected cases, surgery may be performed on a beating heart (off-pump CABG).
5. Graft Placement
The harvested vessel is attached above and below the blocked artery, creating a new route for blood flow.
6. Closure and Monitoring
The chest is carefully closed, and the patient is transferred to the cardiac intensive care unit for close monitoring.
The surgery restores adequate blood flow to the heart muscle, often leading to significant symptom relief and improved cardiac function.
The choice of surgical approach depends on the severity of disease and patient health status.
Final suitability is determined after detailed cardiology evaluation, angiography findings, and overall risk assessment.
Long-Term Symptom Relief: Significant reduction in chest pain and related symptoms.
Improved Blood Flow: Restores adequate circulation to the heart muscle.
Reduced Risk of Future Cardiac Events: Particularly effective in complex multi-vessel disease.
Enhanced Survival in High-Risk Patients: Beneficial for patients with advanced coronary artery disease.
Improved Quality of Life: Better physical capacity and daily functioning.
