About Angiography with CABG
Key Highlights
-
Combines precise diagnosis (angiography) with definitive surgical treatment (CABG) in a single setting.Effectively restores blood flow to the heart muscle, relieving angina and improving quality of life.Significantly reduces the risk of future heart attacks and cardiac-related mortality.Offers a long-term solution for complex, multi-vessel coronary artery disease.Can improve heart function and increase exercise tolerance.
Who is this surgery for?
- Severe blockages in multiple coronary arteries (multi-vessel disease).
- Left main coronary artery disease (a critical blockage).
- Blockages not suitable for treatment with stents (angioplasty).
- Diabetes with complex coronary artery disease.
- Persistent chest pain (angina) despite optimal medical therapy.
- Following a heart attack with ongoing ischemia or complications.
- Poor heart function (low ejection fraction) due to coronary disease.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray.
- Discuss and adjust current medications with your cardiologist; blood thinners may need to be stopped.
- Fast (no food or drink) for 8-12 hours before the procedure.
- Undergo a pre-anesthetic check-up to assess fitness for major surgery.
- Inform the medical team of all allergies, especially to iodine or contrast dye.
- Arrange for help at home and plan for an extended recovery period post-discharge.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding, infection, or reaction to anesthesia.
- Blood clots, which can lead to stroke, heart attack, or graft failure.
- Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) such as atrial fibrillation.
- Kidney injury from the contrast dye used in angiography.
- Stroke or neurological complications.
- Post-pericardiotomy syndrome (inflammation around the heart).
- Memory issues or "pump head" (often temporary) related to heart-lung machine use.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial 1-2 days in the Cardiac ICU for close monitoring, followed by 5-7 days in a hospital room.
- Incision sites (chest and possibly leg/arm for graft harvest) must be kept clean and dry.
- Pain management with prescribed medications is crucial for comfort and deep breathing.
- Begin cardiac rehabilitation with gentle walking and prescribed exercises soon after surgery.
- Follow a heart-healthy diet, low in salt, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
- Attend all follow-up appointments and strictly adhere to new medication regimens (antiplatelets, statins, etc.).
- Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kg) and strenuous activities for 6-8 weeks.

Vivaan Bhatia, a 58-year-old restaurant owner,...
Vivaan Bhatia, a 58-year-old restaurant owner, had always been the energetic heart of his family business. For months, he dismissed his increasing fatigue and occasional chest tightness as stress. A severe episode of crushing chest pain while lifting a supply crate finally sent him to the ER. Tests revealed significant blockages in multiple coronary arteries. His cardiologist, Dr. Sharma, explained that medication alone was insufficient; he needed an angiography to precisely map the blockages, followed immediately by Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) to restore blood flow. Terrified of surgery and worried about his family's livelihood, Vivaan felt his world shrinking. The procedure was long, but successful. His recovery in the cardiac ICU was challenging, filled with pain and anxiety, but supported by his family and a dedicated physiotherapy team. Six months later, Vivaan is back at his restaurant part-time, walking daily, and has adopted a heart-healthy diet. The fear has been replaced by a profound gratitude for his second chance and a cautious optimism for the future.
