2. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.

3. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery

   Hybrid coronary revascularization is a common procedure that takes advantage of coronary stenting in combination with CABG. Hybrid coronary bypass is a relatively new procedure and alternative to traditional bypass surgery that is defined by the performance of coronary bypass surgery and coronary stenting of different areas of a patient's heart.

   Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass surgery (TECAB) is an entirely endoscopic robotic surgery used to treat coronary heart disease, developed in the late 1990s. It is an advanced form of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery , which allows bypass surgery to be conducted off-pump without opening the ribcage.

9. Vascular bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

   Immediately following coronary artery or neurosurgical vascular bypass surgery, patients recover in an intensive care unit or coronary care unit for one to two days. Provided that recovery is normal and without complications, they can move to a less intensively monitored unit such as a step-down unit or a ward bed. Depending on the extent of ...
