CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery) in India

Arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscles. When the coronary artery gets blocked, a new channel is created to bypass the blockage, which is called bypass graft surgery. It uses a working blood vessel from another part of the body — the graft — to channel blood around the blocked area.
