  Surgeons use Coronary artery bypass grafting
  (CABG) to treat people who have severe coronary

• Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one
  treatment for Coronary Heart Disease. During

  around) the blocked portion of the coronary
  artery. This creates a new path for oxygen-rich
  blood to flow to the heart muscle.
• Surgeons can bypass multiple coronary
  arteries during one surgery.
