Coronary artery bypass surgery is used to treat symptoms of coronary artery disease that do not improve with medication, lifestyle changes, or minimally invasive procedures, such as angioplasty. During bypass surgery, blood vessels are removed from another part of the body and used to create a new route for the heart’s blood supply to bypass blockages in the coronary arteries. This allows oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart.
This guide provides information on coronary artery disease and includes topics such as heart anatomy and disease, tests and procedures, heart healthy living and recovery.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition which affects the arteries that supply the heart with blood. It is usually caused by atherosclerosis which is a buildup of plaque inside the artery walls. This buildup causes the inside of the arteries to become narrower and slows down the flow of blood.
