Advanced Heart Bypass Surgery with Expert Cardiac Care

Promed Hospital offers highly specialized CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) procedures for patients with severe coronary artery disease, blocked arteries, and high-risk cardiac conditions. Our dedicated Cardiac Surgery Team, state-of-the-art ICU, and NABH-standard protocols ensure safe, advanced, and compassionate cardiac care from diagnosis to recovery.

What is CABG?

CABG is a surgical procedure performed to bypass blocked coronary arteries and restore normal blood flow to the heart. A healthy blood vessel (from the chest, arm, or leg) is used to create a new route for blood to reach the heart muscle, reducing chest pain and preventing heart attacks.

CABG at Promed Hospital focuses on:

  • Restoring heart function
  • Preventing future cardiac events
  • Improving long-term quality of life

Who Needs CABG?

Your cardiologist may recommend CABG if you have:

Severe coronary artery blockages
Multiple blocked arteries
Diabetes with heart disease
Failed angioplasty/stent procedure
Persistent chest pain (angina)
Left main artery blockage
Weak heart pumping function

Types of CABG Procedures at Promed Hospital

1. On-Pump CABG

(Traditional Bypass Surgery)

Performed using a heart-lung machine with the heart temporarily stopped. Ideal for complex, multi-vessel disease.

2. Off-Pump CABG

(Beating Heart Surgery)

Surgery performed while the heart continues beating, minimizing complications.

3. Minimally Invasive CABG

(MICS CABG)

Small incisions, less pain, shorter recovery time.

4. Single/Multi-Vessel Bypass

Customized depending on how many coronary arteries are blocked.

5. Hybrid Revascularization

Combines minimally invasive surgery with angioplasty/stenting for select patients.
