Bypass Surgery

Coronary or ‘heart’ bypass surgery is an open-heart surgical procedure that restores blood flow to your heart muscle by diverting the flow of blood around a section of a blocked artery in your heart. Bypass surgery uses a healthy blood vessel taken from your leg, arm, chest or abdomen and connects it to the other arteries in your heart so that blood is bypassed around the diseased or blocked area. After a coronary bypass surgery, normal blood flow to the heart is restored. ​
