Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes an inadequate supply of blood to the heart muscle – a potentially damaging condition. Surgeons have the ability to reroute coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the heart, helping people with this disease lead healthier lives.
