	Cardio 360: Heart Bypass Surgery Triple Bypass Surgery Coronary Bypass Surgery
		Coronary bypass surgery, also coronary artery bypass graft surgery and heart bypass surgery(colloquial), is a surgical procedure performed on patients with coronary artery disease for the relief of angina and possible improved heart muscle function.
		Veins or arteries from elsewhere in the patient's body are grafted from the aorta to the coronary arteries, bypassing coronary artery narrowings caused by atherosclerosis and improve the blood supply to the myocardium (heart muscle).
		The terms single bypass, double bypass, triple bypass and quadruple bypass refer to the number of coronary arteries that are bypassed in the procedure.

	About Cardiovascular Disease - Coronary Bypass Surgery - EASTERN CARDIOLOGY, PA
		Coronary bypass surgery is performed on one or more of the coronary arteries, which lie on the outer surface of the heart and supply the heart muscle with the oxygen and nutrients it needs.
		In coronary artery disease, a section or sections of the arteries gradually become obstructed by a buildup of cholesterol, calcium and scar tissue.
		A double bypass operation is one in which portions of two vessels are bypassed, a triple bypass means that the portions of three vessels are bypassed and so forth.

	Coronary artery bypass surgery - MayoClinic.com
		Coronary bypass surgery is one of the most common and effective procedures to manage blockage of blood to the heart muscle.
		Coronary bypass surgery uses a healthy blood vessel harvested from your leg, arm, chest or abdomen and connects it to the other arteries in your heart so that blood is bypassed around the diseased or blocked area.
		Another risk of coronary bypass surgery is that plaques — the fatty deposits that accumulate on the inner walls of coronary arteries and other vessels in atherosclerosis — may break loose from the walls of the aorta when it's clamped shut for the heart-lung machine.

	cardiac bypass surgery, Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease Symptoms
		Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a form of cardiac bypass surgery in which one or more blocked coronary arteries are bypassed by a blood vessel graft to restore normal blood flow to the heart.
		The goals of the cardiac bypass surgery are to relieve symptoms of coronary artery disease (including angina), enable the patient to resume a normal lifestyle and to lower the risk of a heart attack or other heart problems.
		Coronary artery bypass graft surgery does not prevent coronary artery disease from recurring, therefore lifestyle changes and prescribed medications, are strongly recommended to reduce this risk.

		Coronary artery bypass surgery improves blood supply to the heart in individuals whose blood vessels are narrowed from atherosclerosis.
		The rate of subsequent heart attacks in triple-artery recipients, about three percent, was better than the five percent average reported among vein and/or artery bypass patients and repeat surgeries were unnecessary for 95.4 percent of the triple-artery grafts, which also is comparable to vein/artery bypass rates.

		Minimally invasive bypass (also called buttonhole or keyhole bypass) surgeries are exciting advances in basic bypass surgery that are currently being tested with good success for patients with disease in single vessels.
		One variation of minimally invasive bypass uses a four-inch incision, and the surgeon works on the front of the heart while it is beating slowly.
		Eventually minimally invasive bypass procedures may prove to be less expensive, require a shorter hospital stay, and to have fewer complications than over conventional coronary artery bypass surgery -- or even angioplasty.

	Triple Arterial Bypass Improves Survival
		In a standard coronary bypass, surgeons use "grafts" from the two internal thoracic arteries in the chest.
		Margot Bergsma, a surgeon at the University Hospital Groningen in the Netherlands, and colleagues conducted the longest-to-date follow-up (average, 51 months) of patients undergoing triple bypass with the new procedure.
		Elsewhere in the journal, Dr. Denton A. Cooley, a US heart surgeon and a pioneer in coronary bypass surgery, calls the Dutch findings "excellent results." He adds that the 7-year survival rate cited by Bergsma and others is "extremely satisfactory" in light of the fact that all of their patients had serious triple-vessel disease.

	DOC ON CALL
		When the coronary arteries are blocked and blood isn’t flowing properly through the heart, the block or blocks are bypassed by a graft.
		Once the bypass was done, the veinous grafts used to be blocked within 10 years, and then they required a second surgery, called a ‘redo’ surgery.
		Now a majority of such patients (who underwent bypass earlier) have angioplasty because the grafts can be ballooned with drug-coated stents and the chances of reblockage are minimal.

		Mui's coronary arteries was completely blocked, another 60 percent blocked, and a third 95 percent blocked.
		During this procedure, surgeons connect a segment of vein (usually from the patient's leg) to the coronary artery before and after the blockage to reroute blood flow, which effectively "bypasses" the blockage.
		Surgeons clamp a stablilizing device onto either side of the coronary artery, and use a gentle vacuum suction to render that area of the heart motionless while the rest of the heart beats.

		Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure that uses veins from the leg or arteries from another part of the body to reroute blood around a blockage in the arteries that supply the heart with blood and oxygen (coronary arteries).
		The heart-lung bypass pump takes over pumping blood and allows surgeons to stop the heart while they attach the new blood vessels.
		If a heart-lung bypass machine is not used, the heart is positioned and the coronary artery to be bypassed is stabilized with special suction devices ("beating heart" or "off-pump" CABG).

		However, he cautioned that the procedure may have risks and there may not be enough cardiac surgeons in the United States adequately trained in triple arterial grafting for the procedure to become widely used any time soon.
		Grandjean, who began using abdominal grafts in 1989, noted that while it is difficult to compare data on patients who have undergone bypasses using vein grafts and/or single or double grafts, the study's findings successfully demonstrate the benefits of triple-artery grafts.
		The rate of subsequent heart attacks in triple-artery recipients, about 3 percent, was better than the 5 percent average reported among vein and/or artery bypass patients, and repeat surgeries were unnecessary for 95.4 percent of the triple-artery grafts, which also is comparable to vein/artery bypass rates.
