What Is Heart Bypass Surgery?
Heart bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass surgery, aims to replace damaged arteries in the heart. If you need heart bypass surgery, the procedure is pretty similar. A surgeon takes blood vessels from another part of your body to go around, or bypass, a blocked artery. The result is that more blood and oxygen can flow to your heart again. This lowers your risk for a heart attack and other problems. Once you recover, you’ll feel better and be able to get back to your regular activities.
Doctors recommend heart bypass surgery if your coronary arteries become so narrowed or blocked that you run a high risk of a fatal heart attack.This condition is called coronary artery disease, or atherosclerosis. Bypass surgery is performed when the blockage is too severe to be managed with medication or other treatment.
Bypass surgery is the most common type of heart surgery. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), doctors perform 395,000 such surgeries in the United States each year.
