	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Heart bypass surgery
		Heart bypass surgery creates a detour or "bypass" around the blocked part of a coronary artery to restore the blood supply to the heart muscle.
		In the traditional surgery, the patient is connected to the heart-lung machine, or bypass pump, which adds oxygen to the blood and circulates blood to other parts of the body during the surgery.
		Coronary bypass surgery can now be performed with the aid of a robot, which allows the surgeon to perform the operation without even being in the same room as the patient.

	Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine: Heart surgery for congenital defects
		Heart surgery for congenital defects is performed to repair a defect as much as possible and improve the flow of blood and oxygen to the body.
		Surgery is recommended for congenital heart defects that result in a lack of oxygen, a poor quality of life, or a patient who does not thrive.
		Surgery for coarctation of the aorta involves opening the chest wall, removing the defect, and reconnecting the ends of the aorta.

		Minimally invasive heart surgery refers to several approaches for bypassing critically blocked arteries that are less difficult and risky than conventional open-heart surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting -- CABG).
		MIDCAB is suitable for patients with blockage(s) in the arteries on the front of the heart -- i.e., the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and its diagonal branches.
		A mechanical stabilizer is attached to the heart to reduce its movement, and the surgeon connects the mammary artery below the blockage to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and/or one of its branches.
