CABG is a type of surgery that restores blood flow to the heart muscle. This is done by moving blood vessels from other parts of the body into the heart, to provide a route around obstructed coronary (heart) arteries.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is an operation in which arteries removed from inside the chest wall or hand, or veins removed from the legs are used on the surface of the heart to bypass obstructions in the coronary arteries. The blood supply to the heart muscle thus is restored to areas where it was reduced by atherosclerosis.
