The coronary arteries surround the heart and supply blood directly to the muscles that pump the blood throughout the circulation. Keeping the blood flowing is vital.
Coronary angioplasty
Restoring blood flow to the heart. Coronary angioplasty is a medical procedure designed to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the heart. This procedure is often necessary for individuals with coronary artery disease, a condition that can reduce blood flow to the heart, potentially causing chest pain or even leading to a heart attack. During coronary angioplasty, a doctor inserts a small tube called a catheter into a blood vessel, typically in the arm or leg, and carefully guides it to the heart. At the tip of the catheter is a tiny balloon, which is inflated at the site of the blockage. This inflation pushes plaque (fatty deposits) against the artery walls, effectively opening the artery and improving blood flow. In many cases, a small mesh tube known as a stent is also placed in the artery to keep it open permanently, further enhancing blood circulation. Coronary angioplasty is a common and safe procedure that helps reduce chest pain, improve blood flow, and can reduce the risks of heart attacks.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Enhancing heart health. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure aimed at improving blood flow to the heart, particularly for individuals with severe coronary artery disease. This condition occurs when arteries in the heart become blocked or narrowed, leading to reduced blood supply and potential chest pain, known as angina. During CABG surgery, a surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from another part of your body, often from the leg or chest, and uses it to create a new pathway around the blocked arteries. This process is referred to as creating a “bypass.” By restoring normal blood flow to the heart, CABG can significantly reduce chest pain and lower the risk of a heart attack. CABG surgery can lead to an improved quality of life, making it easier for patients to return to an active lifestyle.
