CABG (Heart Bypass)

Understanding Bypass

CABG (Heart Bypass) stands as a pivotal procedure in cardiac surgery, providing a crucial solution for severe coronary artery disease (CAD).

At UCSI Hospital in Seremban, skilled surgeons perform this intricate surgery, creating new pathways for blood flow by grafting a healthy artery or vein from elsewhere in the body to bypass blocked arteries.

This restoration of blood flow to the heart muscle not only alleviates symptoms such as chest pain but also significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks.

Following CABG, patients at UCSI Hospital undergo comprehensive care, including a hospital stay of several days and a gradual return to normal activities over several weeks.

Despite the risks associated with CABG, such as infection and bleeding, it remains a highly effective option for managing advanced CAD and improving long-term heart health, underscoring its importance in the cardiac surgery landscape at UCSI Hospital in Seremban.
