Bypass surgery is a commonly performed procedure for patients with blocked coronary arteries when medications, ballooning, or stenting are no longer effective. This surgery aims to restore blood flow to the heart muscle by diverting blood around clogged arteries using grafts. In advanced cases of coronary artery disease, bypass surgery may be considered the most comprehensive, effective, or necessary treatment option.
Entry through a median sternotomy without stopping the heart and without using the heart-lung machine.
Special equipment and techniques allow the surgeon to perform the procedure safely and efficiently.
Uses the heart-lung machine without stopping the heart.
Suitable for patients with poor heart function or complex artery conditions.
Provides more space and ease for bypass connections, reducing the need to manipulate the heart excessively.
Small incision on the front side surface of the chest, below and left of the left nipple.
Bypasses all three arteries of the heart from a small chest wall incision.
Advanced technology allows for comprehensive bypasses through a minimally invasive approach.
Combines surgical and cardiological techniques for complete revascularization.
Surgeon performs some bypasses through a small incision, while the cardiologist completes the procedure with stenting.
Performed in a single operation in an advanced hybrid operating theatre.
Requires a median sternotomy, but the heart continues to beat during surgery.
Special equipment, such as heart positioning devices and suction tools, are used.
The heart is connected to a heart-lung machine without being stopped.
Suitable for patients with poor heart function, thin or calcified arteries, or significant fat tissue or adhesions on the heart surface.
Provides more stability and allows for easier bypass connections without manipulating the heart excessively.
Combines surgical bypasses with stenting performed by a cardiologist.
Used when all necessary bypasses cannot be placed through a small chest wall incision.
Offers full revascularization and can be completed in a single operation.
