INTRODUCTION  
Heart bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery 
bypass grafting (CABG), is a surgical procedure that 
improves blood flow to the heart by creating new 
pathways around blocked or narrowed coronary 
arteries. These new pathways, or grafts, are created 
using blood vessels taken from another part of the 
patient's body, such as the leg or chest.

What is CABG and why is it needed? 
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is used to treat 
obstructive coronary heart disease, a type of heart 
disease that occurs when plaque builds up in the 
coronary arteries that supply the heart with oxygen-rich 
blood. Your heart care team will work with you to decide 
if CABG is right for you. It can lead to angina, chest pain, 
lack of breath,its severe case in heart attack or heart 
failure.

Types of grafts used in CABG ?
 Internal Thoracic Arteries (ITA): ITA grafts are also known as 
Internal Mammary Arteries (IMA). ITA is the most commonly 
used bypass grafts because they yield good results in the long-
term.We have two ITA in the chest. 
 The Radial Artery (RA): RA is another common type of arterial 
graft. There are two arteries in the arm – the ulnar and radial 
arteries. The ulnar artery delivers blood to the arm, so most people 
won’t have any side effects if the radial artery is used as a graft.

Potential risks and complications.
A person having open heart surgery may need a blood 
transfusion right after the procedure. The surgery 
involves removing and replacing blood vessels, which 
can cause bleeding at the sites where the vessels are 
connected.The most common problem in bypass 
surgeries is arrhythmia, which is when the heart beats 
improperly or irregularly. In this condition, the heart may 
beat too slowly or too quickly.
Only 1-2% people have a chance getting infection after 
surgery.
