Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery (CABG) is a surgical procedure that is used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD). In CAD, a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the blood vessels (coronary arteries) that are responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscles. This leads to narrowing of the coronary arteries. During the procedure, the doctor surgically connects a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm or chest to the heart and creates a new pathway around the blocked or the partially blocked artery to restore blood flow.
