Bypass Surgery: Restoring Blood Flow with a New Pathway
At Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department, we offer advanced treatments for arterial disease to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms. One of the key procedures we specialise in is Bypass Surgery, a surgical technique that creates a new pathway for blood to bypass blocked or narrowed arteries.
Bypass Surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), involves using a healthy blood vessel, often taken from the patient's leg or chest, to bypass the blocked or narrowed segment of the artery. The healthy vessel is surgically attached above and below the affected area, allowing blood to flow freely through the new pathway.
The key aspects of Bypass Surgery include:
1. Restoring Blood Flow: Bypass Surgery restores blood flow to the heart or other affected organs by creating an alternate route for blood to bypass the blocked or narrowed artery. This improves oxygen supply to the heart and alleviates symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
2. Customised Approach: Bypass Surgery is tailored to each patient's condition. The number of bypass grafts required and the choice of blood vessels used depend on the location and severity of the arterial blockages and the patient's overall health.
3. Long-Term Results: Bypass Surgery provides long-lasting benefits by improving blood flow and reducing the risk of future complications associated with arterial disease. It can enhance the quality of life and increase life expectancy for many patients.
At SJMC, our experienced cardiothoracic surgeons perform Bypass Surgery with precision and expertise. We utilise state-of-the-art technology and follow best practices to ensure optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
