Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of heart-related complications. Bypass surgery and stent placement are two effective treatment options that help restore normal blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
Coronary artery disease occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. This restricts blood flow and can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, or even a heart attack.
Chest pain or discomfort (angina)
Shortness of breath
Fatigue and dizziness
Irregular heartbeats
Numbness or pain in the arms and shoulders
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure used to bypass blocked arteries. During the procedure:
A healthy blood vessel is taken from another part of the body (leg, arm, or chest).
It is grafted onto the blocked coronary artery to reroute blood flow.
The heart receives an improved supply of oxygen-rich blood, reducing symptoms and preventing complications.
Stent placement, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure that helps open narrowed arteries. The procedure involves:
Inserting a thin catheter into the artery.
Expanding a small balloon to widen the narrowed section.
Placing a stent (a small metal mesh tube) to keep the artery open and ensure proper blood flow.
Bypass Surgery: Recommended for severe blockages or multiple artery disease.
Stent Placement: Suitable for less severe blockages and patients who prefer minimally invasive options.
Doctor’s Assessment: A cardiologist evaluates the severity of the blockage and determines the best treatment option.
Restores normal blood circulation to the heart.
Reduces symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
Prevents further heart complications.
Improves overall heart health and quality of life.
