Explanation

A Coronary Artery Bypass Graph is a type of heart surgery. This procedure is done when the blood vessels that supply the heart are blocked or damaged. The surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body and uses it to create a new path for blood to flow to the heart. This helps to improve blood flow to the heart muscle and can relieve chest pain or potentially prevent a heart attack.
