Overview
What is a Bypass Surgery?
Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is performed to improve blood flow to the heart by creating a new path around blocked or narrowed arteries. It’s a lifesaving procedure for patients with severe coronary artery disease or those who have not responded to other treatments.
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, we offer the best bypass surgery in Kerala, ensuring superior outcomes with cutting-edge techniques and world-class cardiac expertise.
