What is Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)?

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, often pronounced “cabbage”) is one of the most commonly performed open heart surgeries.

CABG uses healthy blood vessels from another part of the body and connects them to blood vessels above and below the blocked artery.
