Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): Restoring Blood Flow to the Heart
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure performed at Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department to restore blood flow to the heart muscles in individuals with severe coronary artery disease. This procedure involves bypassing the blocked or narrowed coronary arteries by using healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body.
During CABG surgery, the surgeon creates a new pathway for blood to bypass the affected coronary arteries, allowing oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscles. The bypass grafts are typically harvested from the patient's veins or arteries, such as the internal mammary artery or saphenous vein.
The key aspects of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting include:
1. Restoring Blood Flow: CABG surgery effectively improves blood flow to the heart muscles, relieving symptoms such as chest pain (angina) and improving overall cardiac function.
2. Customised Approach: Our experienced cardiothoracic surgeons assess each patient's condition and determine the most suitable grafting technique and number of bypasses required. The treatment plan is tailored to the individual's needs, ensuring optimal outcomes.
3. Long-Term Benefits: CABG surgery provides long-lasting benefits, reducing the risk of future heart-related complications and improving the patient's quality of life. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with severe coronary artery disease or those who have not responded adequately to other treatment options.
