What Is a Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery?
A coronary artery bypass surgery or CABG surgery, is a heart operation that uses blood vessels from one part of the body to bypass a damaged artery in the heart organ. This operation is a life-saving operation, and it can help people with blocked coronary arteries to have a new lease on life after a blockage in that organ. The bypass will allow more blood and oxygen to flow freely to the heart, and allow the person receiving the surgery a higher quality on life. If plaque that builds up in the heart breaks off and travels to the heart, it can form blood clots and cause heart attacks, strokes and even immediate death.
What Can Go Wrong with a Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery?
This is a loaded question for sure, because many things can go wrong with a coronary artery bypass surgery. The point of this surgery is to clear a pathway for the heart, to allow the arteries to have free reign to get blood and oxygen to and from the heart. When the pathways to the heart are clogged over time, the person with this condition will have many heart-related problems, such as:
- Myocardial infarction
- Heart attack
- Angina pectoris
- Chest pain
During the coronary artery bypass surgery, the surgeon finds clean arteries in other areas of the person’s body, to use in the heart region. If you are having bypass surgery, there may be several different procedures that will be used to help clear your heart arteries. Problems can occur at any stage of a bypass surgery, including when:
- Locating arteries in the leg to use in the heart for the surgery
- Taking out a leg vein for the artery bypass
- Making an incision in the midline of the chest
- Stopping the heart during the surgery
- Putting the person on a heart-lung machine
- Performing the surgery while the heart is still beating (off-pump surgery)
- Weakened heart muscles from prior heart attacks
