A Coronary Artery Bypass is a surgical procedure for restoring blood flow to the heart when it has been restricted as a result of coronary artery disease. The skilled physicians at Heritage Valley perform this surgery by grafting a section of saphenous vein (found in the leg), internal mammary artery (found in the chest), or radial artery (found in the forearm) between the aorta of the heart and the obstructed coronary artery.
