About CABG High Risk Surgery

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) High-Risk Surgery is a specialized cardiac procedure performed on patients with severe coronary artery disease who present with significant additional health challenges that elevate their surgical risk. These risks may include advanced age, poor heart function (low ejection fraction), previous heart surgeries, diabetes, kidney disease, or chronic lung conditions. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, using grafts from the patient's own arteries or veins. Performed by a highly skilled cardiac surgeon, this complex operation requires meticulous planning, advanced surgical techniques, and intensive post-operative care in a specialized cardiac ICU to manage the heightened risks and improve the patient's long-term survival and quality of life.
