Advanced Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery in India: Rewarding and Cost Effective

by Rachel Smith India Cardiac Surgery Site Consultants Pvt. Ltd.

Overview: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) procedure is today one of the most favoured and safest Cardiac procedures to cure Coronary Artery Disorders. These disorders occur when there is a considerable amount of narrowing of or more Coronary arteries. This results in insufficient blood flow to the Heart. But with CABG new paths around the blocked arteries can be created to facilitate ample blood supply to the Heart muscle.

Types of CABG

  • Traditional CABG: This is done under general anaesthesia, during which a 6-8 inch incision is made on the sternum to access the Heart. After this, the patient is connected to a Heart-lung Bypass Machine as the Heart is stopped. The surgeon then harvests a proper vessel and the graft is placed on the blocked Coronary Artery.
  • Off-pump CABG: Done in a similar way like the traditional approach, but the bypass machine is not needed; instead, drugs are given, which slows the heartbeat and then the graft is implanted.
  • Minimally Invasive direct CABG: This is the most advanced approach – Robotic approach. The chest is not opened, only a 3-inch cut is made via which the inside of the Chest is visualized on a monitor and accordingly the graft is implanted

How does the need for CABG develop?

CABG can be a highly fruitful way for treating one or more blocked or narrowing Coronary Arteries so that the blood supply to the Heart muscle can be restored. There are some symptoms, which gradually push the need for this surgery:

  • Chest pain
  • Fatigue
  • Abnormal Heart rate
  • Palpitations
  • Swelling in the hands and feet
  • Shortness of breath
  • Indigestion

How is CABG diagnosed?

There are some presurgical tests that are a must before CABG:

  • Blood tests
