Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery, commonly known as heart bypass surgery, offers hope to individuals suffering from severe coronary artery disease. This procedure involves creating new pathways around blocked or narrowed arteries, ensuring the heart receives sufficient blood supply to function effectively.

The surgery typically uses a healthy blood vessel taken from the chest, arms, or legs to bypass the blocked area, improving blood flow to the heart. Universelle Medicaid is among the providers offering this life-saving service.
Why is CABG Required?
-
Severe Blockages: Patients with multiple artery blockages or main coronary artery obstructions.
-
Failure of Angioplasty: When stenting fails or arteries re-block (restenosis).
-
Diabetes with CAD: CABG is often preferred for diabetic patients with coronary artery disease.
-
Left Ventricular Dysfunction: Impaired heart function or prior heart attacks necessitating improved blood flow.
-
Post-Surgical Effects: Cataracts may develop after previous eye surgeries, such as glaucoma, retinal, or laser surgeries.
-
Emergency Situations: Excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, poor nutrition, and vitamin deficiencies can contribute to cataracts.
A thorough evaluation, including coronary angiography, echocardiograms, and stress tests, is conducted to determine eligibility. Physicians emphasize patient education about the procedure's benefits and risks.
Benefits of CABG Surgery
-
Symptom Relief: Alleviates chest pain and breathlessness, enabling a return to daily activities.
-
Increased Longevity: Improves survival rates and enhances the quality of life.
-
Active Lifestyle: Reduces symptoms, enabling patients to engage in physical activities and improve mental health..
Types of CABG Procedures
- 1 On-Pump CABG: Utilizes a heart-lung machine to temporarily take over heart and lung functions while the heart is stopped. Ideal for complex cases but may carry risks like stroke or cognitive issues.
- 2 Off-Pump CABG: Conducted while the heart continues to beat, using stabilizing devices to ensure precision. Often recommended for elderly or high-risk patients, it reduces complications and recovery time.
- 3 Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass (MIDCAB): Involves a small incision on the chest, avoiding sternotomy. Suitable for single-vessel disease, it offers quicker recovery and less post-operative pain.
Risks and Complications
- Infections: Managed with stringent hospital protocols.
- Bleeding: Closely monitored, especially in patients with clotting disorders.
- Stroke or Heart Attack: Rare but possible, particularly in high-risk patients.
- Cognitive Issues: Temporary memory or focus problems may occur after on-pump CABG.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
- ICU Monitoring: Initial observation in the ICU for 1-2 days.
-
Hospital Stay: Typically 7 days if no complications arise.
- Rehabilitation: Structured exercise, dietary guidance, and lifestyle counseling to strengthen the heart and prevent future issues.
Universelle Medicaid provides personalized rehabilitation programs to support recovery.
