Overview

Coronary artery disease occurs when fatty deposits (plaques) build up inside the coronary arteries. This process, called atherosclerosis, reduces blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or heart attack.

CABG surgery creates a new pathway for blood to reach the heart by grafting a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body (leg vein, chest artery, or arm artery
