This procedure, also known as CABG (pronounced "cabbage") surgery, creates a new artery in your heart for blood to flow freely, bypassing the blocked artery. It treats coronary artery disease.
Your doctor:
- Removes a healthy blood vessel from another part of your body (usually a leg or arm)
- Attaches it to a healthy artery above or below your blockage
When possible, we offer robotic-assisted bypass surgery. It uses smaller incisions, which helps speed your recovery.
