Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery is one of the most effective treatments for restoring blood flow to the heart when coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked. Using a healthy vessel from another part of your body (usually from your chest, arm, or leg) your surgeon creates a new pathway to improve blood flow to the heart muscle.

Why Choose Us for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)

  • Unmatched expertise: Our board‑certified surgeons perform a high number of bypass procedures each year. Their experience leads to above average success rates, improved patient outcomes, fewer complications, and faster recovery times. 
  • Highly rated: Our cardiothoracic surgical team earned the highest three‑star rating from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). This rating reflects exceptional quality, safety, and patient outcomes. 
  • Comprehensive care: We collaborate closely with other specialized teams to ensure you receive a personalized treatment plan before and after the surgery.

Conditions We Treat

Services We Provide

  • On-pump bypass surgery, a technique that uses the heart-lung machine to circulate your blood so your surgeon can operate on a still, blood-free heart. 
  • Off-pump bypass surgery, a technique where your surgeon performs the bypass while your heart keeps beating naturally, without the heart-lung machine.
  • Bloodless heart surgery option: We offer specialized protocols for patients who decline blood transfusions or wish to avoid donor blood. Our surgeons use meticulous surgical techniques to help ensure safe, transfusion-free care. 
  • Multi-arterial grafting: For complex blockages and repeat surgeries, our surgeons can perform CABG with two or more arterial grafts — taken from the chest wall (internal mammary artery) or the arm (radial artery). This approach can offer better long‑term graft patency and improved survival.

Recovery

Timeframes may change depending on your specific needs, but patients typically spend 3-5 days in the hospital and begin cardiac rehab soon after recovery. We provide ongoing follow-up care, cardiac rehabilitation, and lifestyle adjustments to help bring you to a full recovery.
