Heart Bypass (or, Coronary Bypass) Surgery is an operation that re-routes blood circulation, using (Saphenous) Veins from the leg and/or (Internal Mammary) Arteries behind the breastbone as ” new pipes” through which blood is carried around the blocked coronary arteries to the muscles of the heart that are not receiving enough blood because of obstruction. What is this surgery done for? Coronary Bypass is done for patients who have chest (heart) pains (angina pectoris) that are resistant to medications, and who have been found to have significant blockages in the coronary arteries by a dye test called Coronary Angiogram, also known as Heart Catheterization. When the blockages are very severe and involve the entire length of the coronary arteries, neither angioplasty nor coronary bypass is feasible anymore. TMR: New hope for heart patients?
