Coronary surgery
Coronary surgery restores blood flow to the heart muscle when the arteries that supply it (the coronary arteries) become narrowed or blocked.
What is it?
A bypass creates a “detour” around the blocked part of a coronary artery, using a vessel taken from the patient's own body, so blood can reach the heart muscle again.
Who is it for?
It is intended for patients with several affected coronary arteries, or when catheter-based dilation is not the best option. The decision is always made together with the cardiologist.
How your care works
The procedure can be performed on a beating heart or with cardiopulmonary bypass (a machine that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs). The choice depends on your situation and is explained before surgery.
Recovery and follow-up
Intensive-care monitoring follows the operation, then a period of recovery and gradual cardiac rehabilitation. Every step is supported and explained.
When to consult?
Chest pain or tightness on exertion, unusual breathlessness, marked fatigue: speak to your doctor without delay or book an appointment.
