When a patient’s coronary arteries are blocked, the provider may treat the problem by giving the blood a new pathway to the heart (also known as a “graft”). This procedure is called coronary artery bypass surgery. During this procedure, a blood vessel is removed from one area of the body and placed around the area of narrowing to “bypass” it and restore blood flow to the heart muscle.
