Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), also known as heart bypass or open heart surgery is a procedure where a healthy blood vessel (artery or vein) from arm, chest or leg is used to bypass narrowed coronary arteries to restore normal blood flow to the heart muscles.
It is done when medications have failed to relieve the symptoms and there are multiple blockages in more than one artery and angioplasty is not a good option.
Coronary bypass surgery reroutes blood around a portion of a coronary artery that is completely or partially clogged. A healthy blood vessel is taken from your leg, arm, or chest and connected below and above the blocked arteries in your heart during the procedure. Blood flow to the heart muscle improves thanks to a new conduit.
Coronary heart disease is the heart disease when coronary arteries become blocked with fat and calcium deposits known as "plaques". The blood supply is thus compromised to the muscles of the heart causing symptoms like angina. Left untreated, it can lead to heart attack or heart failure.
Heart Bypass Surgery is advised:
Traditionally Heart Bypass is performed under general anesthesia. The surgery lasts for 3 -6 hrs. The incision runs on the sternum and the chest cavity is opened to gain access to the heart. The number of bypasses required is determined by the location and severity of the blockages in your heart.
The graft artery or vein is grafted and prepared. The heart is stopped by chemical means and hypothermia and the graft is attached to the suitable site. The circulation is maintained by heart lung machines.
One end of the graft goes into the aorta and the other end into the coronary artery beyond the narrowed part. The surgeon will restore your heartbeat, unhook you from the heart-lung machine, and close your chest bone with wire after the transplant is completed.
Your surgeon may also employ the following surgical techniques:
Off-pump or beating-heart surgery: This method entails operating on a beating heart while employing specialised technology to keep the portion of the heart the surgeon is working on stable. Because the heart is still beating, this form of operation is difficult. It isn't a feasible solution for everyone.
Minimally invasive surgery refers to surgery that is performed through small incisions in the chest, typically using robotics and video imaging to help the surgeon work in a tight space. Port-access or keyhole surgery are terms used to describe several types of minimally invasive surgery.
The patient recovers in a surgical intensive care unit for one to two days after the operation. Drugs are prescribed to control pain and to prevent unwanted blood clotting. One can resume a normal routine on the third day, including eating regular food, sitting up, and walking around a bit. Full recovery from coronary artery bypass graft surgery takes about 6 to 8 weeks.
Angina can be relieved with heart bypass surgery.
Patients with reduced heart muscle pump function or stenosis of the left major coronary or numerous arteries had a better long-term survival rate after surgery.
The majority of patients are symptom-free for 10 to 15 years after surgery. It's crucial to remember, however, that cardiac bypass doesn't fix the underlying problem of coronary artery disease, which causes blood channels to narrow.
Cardiac bypass reroutes blood flow and protects your heart from harm right away. As a result, even after surgery, long-term lifestyle modifications are still required. To have a healthy heart, you must quit smoking, exercise, and make dietary modifications, to name a few crucial lifestyle aspects.
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for Heart Bypass Surgery in India.

In India, the average cost of heart bypass surgery starts at around USD 4000. The prices, however, may vary depending on various factors listed above.
A coronary artery bypass graft, like any other type of surgery, carries some risks of complications. An irregular heartbeat or a wound infection, for example, are normally minor and manageable, but there is a danger of significant complications, such as a stroke or heart attack, though rare with advancements in technique and technology.
Heart bypass surgery offers a promising prognosis that has improved over the last three decades. In fact, the survival rate for bypass patients who survive the first month after surgery is comparable to the general population.
Expect a six to twelve week recuperation period. After four to six weeks, if your doctor gives you the green signal, you can return to work, start exercising, and resume sexual activity.
CABG can ease symptoms and perhaps prevent a heart attack by restoring blood flow to the heart. Every year, millions of coronary bypass surgeries are conducted across the world, with an overall success rate of over 98 percent.
The surgery is under general anesthesia and you will not feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery. For the time you are in hospital, your doctor shall prescribe you pain medication to control the pain.
For the first few weeks after surgery, you will be fatigued and sore. On either side of your chest, you may experience some intense aches. It's possible that your chest, shoulders, and upper back hurt. It's possible that the incision in your chest, as well as the area where the healthy vein was removed, will be uncomfortable or swollen.
Yes, minimally invasive open heart surgery is performed without opening the chest. You must check with your doctor if you are a candidate for minimally invasive bypass surgery though.

I recently traveled to Mumbai for a lower body lift and breast lift. As an American nurse living in Saudi Arabia I was apprehensive at first and did months of research. I chose IndiCure because of Dr. Jagannathan. I traveled alone and spent almost 3 weeks there undergoing 2 separate procedures. I was pleasantly surprised. The surgeries both went flawless. All of the hospital staff was amazing. Read Michelle Williams's Review About IndiCure Here
