Coronary Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Coronary bypass (or CABG) is the most common operation done by cardiac surgeons. It remains the most effective solution for blockage of your coronary arteries. Our group has an established record of success with this operation with a risk adjusted survival rate over 99%.

Key Benefits

• The most effective and durable solution for angina (chest pain due to lack of blood flow to the heart).
• Over 97% of patients will receive at least one arterial graft (mammary artery)- these grafts will improve your survival and last longer than any stent (balloon procedures) or other types of materials used for bypass.

Several recent studies have confirmed the advantages in long term survival of patients who have bypass surgery as opposed to taking medicines or having balloon or stent procedures for many kinds of coronary artery blockages. Our surgeons have perfected the techniques available to perform this operation with the chance of dying following the procedure (after adjustment for how sick the patients are) to less than 1%.
