What is heart bypass surgery?
When the surgeon removes a portion of a blood vessel from the patient's leg or chest, most probably the left internal mammary artery and the saphenous vein to bypass the old, diseased coronary artery and to build a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle.

These transplanted vessels are called grafts and depending on your condition, your doctor may need to perform more than one coronary artery bypass graft.

Your heart is located in the center of your chest.

It is surrounded by your rib cage and protected by your breastbone.

Your heart's job is to keep blood continually circulating throughout your body.

The vessels that supply the body with oxygen-rich blood are called arteries.

The vessels that return blood to the heart are called veins.
