Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)
CABG is the most commonly performed open-heart operation. It is a surgical procedure in which one or more blocked coronary arteries are bypassed by a blood vessel graft to restore normal blood flow to the heart. CABG reduces chest pain and the risk of death from a heart attack.
Isolated CABG means that only a CABG surgery is performed on the patient without any other procedure. KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital performed 87 cases in 2020, 99 cases in 2021, and 121 cases in 2022.
