Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery Treatment in India

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery treats blocked or narrowed coronary arteries by creating new routes for blood to reach the heart muscle. Surgeons use a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass the blocked artery, restoring normal blood flow and reducing the risk of heart attack. CABG remains one of the most effective treatments for severe coronary artery disease, with decades of proven outcomes worldwide.

• Chest pain or tightness (angina), especially during exertion
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue with everyday activities
• Pain radiating to the arm, jaw, or back
• Irregular heartbeat
• Dizziness or lightheadedness

Bypass surgery is typically recommended when coronary angiography shows significant blockages in multiple arteries, when medication and lifestyle changes are no longer enough to control symptoms, or when the left main coronary artery is significantly narrowed. Your cardiologist will confirm the need for surgery based on angiography results, the number and location of blockages, and your overall heart function.

• General anesthesia is administered before surgery
• A healthy vessel (from the leg, chest, or arm) is harvested for grafting
• The surgeon creates a bypass around the blocked artery section
• Surgery may be performed on-pump (heart-lung machine) or off-pump (beating heart)
• Typical surgery time is 3-6 hours depending on the number of grafts

• 5-7 days hospital stay including ICU monitoring
• Chest discomfort and fatigue for the first 2-3 weeks
• Most patients resume light activities within 4-6 weeks
• Full recovery and return to normal activity in 8-12 weeks
• Cardiac rehabilitation program recommended for optimal recovery

• Experienced cardiac surgeons with high-volume CABG experience
• NABH/JCI-accredited hospitals with advanced cardiac ICUs
• Transparent, all-inclusive package pricing
• Dedicated case manager for travel, visa and hospital coordination
• Post-discharge follow-up and cardiac rehabilitation guidance
