an operation that involves surgically bypassing blood around the blockages in coronary arteries

a surgical procedure used in the management of coronary artery disease, commonly referred to as heart disease

Coronary artery bypass graft. A type of open heart surgery in which pieces of a vein or artery are used to route blood flow around a blockage in one or more of the arteries that supply oxygen to the heart muscle.

Coronary artery bypass graft; and Coronary artery bypass grafting.

coronary artery bypass graft. a surgical procedure in which a healthy blood vessel is transplanted from another part of the body into the heart to replace or bypass a diseased vessel.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery. First used in 1967 to "bypass" blocked heart arteries using segments of the patients own veins or chest arteries.

Coronary artery bypass grafting. The surgical procedure to treat narrowing or " stenosis" of the coronary arteries is called coronary artery bypass or CABG (pronounced "cabbage"). To accomplish this, cardiothoracic surgeons create bypasses around the obstructions in the coronary arteries with arteries or veins from elsewhere in the body to improve blood flow to the heart.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. Open heart operation which will return blood flow to the heart by having the blood in the coronary artery pass through a conduit, or a blood vessel graft, bypassing the obstruction of the artery.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. An operation which uses arteries and or veins to bypass narrowings or occlusions in the coronary arteries. This is usually done using the heart lung machine but can be done with the heart beating (see OPCAB ).

Coronary artery bypass graft. An operation performed to circumvent blocked coronary arteries and deliver/redirect blood to areas of the heart receiving insufficient blood flow. More than 350,000 Americans undergo coronary bypass each year. Also referred to as coronary bypass surgery.

See coronary artery bypass graft.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. the operation in which blocked coronary arteries are bypassed, usually with veins from the legs.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. Common surgical procedure to create an alternate route around a narrowed or blocked coronary artery using grafted vessels from the chest or leg.

coronary artery bypass graft. an operation that uses arteries and veins in the body to re-route blood around blockages in the heart vessels to improve blood supply to areas of the heart.

coronary artery bypass graft. surgical procedure, usually open-chest, where blocked blood vessels are "bypassed" by a vein or artery which allows blood to flow around the obstruction, to improve blood flow and heart function.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or "bypass."

another term for coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Also known as "coronary artery bypass grafting," this is an open heart surgery procedure  where blocked arteries are bypassed using blood vessels from another part of the body.

Coronary artery bypass graft. a surgical procedure used in individuals with significant narrowings and blockages of coronary arteries to create new routes around narrowed and blocked arteries, permitting increased blood flow to the heart muscle. The bypass graft for a CABG can be a vein from the leg or an inner chest wall artery.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. refers to a surgery performed to relieve ischemia by providing improved myocardial perfusion beyond areas of coronary stenosis. This surgery may be indicated to improve long-term survival, presumably by preventing myocardial infarction and preserving left ventricular function.

(pronounced "Cabbage") Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. A heart surgery procedure that treats the symptoms of coronary artery disease. CABG surgery reroutes (or 'bypasses') the blood flow around the blockages in the coronary arteries, restoring blood flow to the heart muscle itself.

See Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. An operation in which a section of vein or artery is used to bypass a blockage in a coronary artery; performed to prevent myocardial infarction (heart attack) and to relieve angina.

Coronary artery bypass graft. An operation performed to get past blocked arteries of the heart and deliver blood to areas that aren't receiving enough.

coronary artery bypass graft. Surgical reconstruction of the arteries supplying the heart.

coronary artery bypass graft; commonly known as heart bypass surgery

Coronary artery bypass graft. Surgical procedure that establishes a shunt that allows blood to travel from the aorta to a branch of the coronary artery at a point past an obstruction. Utilized to bypass atherosclerotic vessels and restore blood supply to the heart
