Coronary artery disease afflicts a large number of Americans. When cholesterol and calcium build up in the arteries (the vessels that pump blood from the heart throughout the body), this can cause blockages or “hardening” of one or more arteries. If left untreated, the blockages can cause a heart attack.
The most common surgical treatment for coronary artery disease is coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). This procedure has proven to lower the risk of future heart attack and the need for additional procedures. It has also proven to result in less chest pain (often referred to as “angina”) and a longer life expectancy.
