Briefly describe how artery bypass surgery is performed

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Coronary artery bypass surgery reroutes blood flow around the clogged arteries to improve blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. A segment of a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body is attached or grafted from the aorta to the coronary artery below the blocked area. Depending on the number of blocked arteries, one or more grafts may be surgically placed.
