Coronary Bypass Surgery
Coronary Bypass Surgery is the ultimate attempt to reestablish the blood supply to heart’s tissue. The heart must be stopped for this procedure. The problem occurs when one or more of arteries supplying blood to heart become blocked, usually by a build of plaque.
This blockage can result in a lack of basic nutrition and oxygen to the heart’s tissue. If it is not correct, it can’t progress and lead to a heart attack. A redundant section of the cephalic vein in the leg is removed and attached around the blockage. So the blood in the coronary artery laterally bypasses the blockage. This restarts significant blood flow to the endangered tissue once the heart has being restarted.
