Coronary bypass is a medical procedure that involves creating a new path for blood flow when there's a blockage in the coronary arteries. This life-saving surgery can be referred to in various ways, including coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), cardiac bypass surgery, or heart bypass surgery. Other synonyms for this procedure may include myocardial revascularization, arterial bypass, and coronary artery revascularization. These synonyms are often used interchangeably with coronary bypass surgery, but each term may have its nuances and specific connotations. Ultimately, the goal of all these terms is to describe this critical surgical procedure that can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with heart disease.
