Coronary bypass surgery
This type of surgery restores blood flow to your heart by creating new paths around blocked arteries. At Atlantic Health, we offer advanced surgical options, including minimally invasive techniques. Our goal is to lower risk, support healing and help you return to daily life.
Improving blood flow to the heart
Our heart surgeons use a blood vessel from a patient’s leg, arm or inner chest to bypass an obstruction in a coronary artery, improving blood flow to the heart. A patient may undergo a single, double, triple or quadruple bypass, depending on the number of arteries that are blocked. Sometimes coronary bypass surgery can be performed with minimally invasive techniques, making only small incisions in the chest, resulting in less risk and trauma and faster recovery.
