Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): A Lifesaving Pathway to Heart Health

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of heart attacks in India. When arteries supplying blood to the heart become blocked due to plaque buildup, CABG surgery offers a proven, long-term solution.

Meet the Expert: Dr. Brajmohan Singh

Practicing in Bhavnagar and Ahmedabad, Dr. Singh is a renowned cardiac surgeon with:

  • Over 6000 successful heart surgeries
  • MBBS & MS from a top medical university in Jaipur
  • MCh in Cardiac Surgery from Delhi
  • Specialization in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, OPCABG, Valve Repair & Replacement, Aortic Aneurysm, and Peripheral Vascular Procedures

What Is CABG?

CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) is a surgical procedure that:

  • Uses healthy blood vessels from the chest, leg, or arm
  • Creates new routes (bypasses) around blocked coronary arteries
  • Restores oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart muscle

Why Is It Needed?

CABG is recommended when:

  • Multiple coronary arteries are blocked
  • Angina (chest pain) persists despite medication
  • Previous stenting or angioplasty has failed
  • The left main coronary artery is critically narrowed
  • The patient is diabetic or at high risk of heart attack

Surgical Techniques Used by Dr. Singh

OPCABG (Off-Pump CABG)

  • Performed on a beating heart
  • Avoids use of a heart-lung machine
  • Reduces complications and speeds up recovery

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS)

  • Small incisions, less trauma
  • Faster healing and better cosmetic results

Total Arterial Revascularization

  • Uses arterial grafts (like internal mammary arteries) instead of veins
  • Offers superior long-term patency
