Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
CABG surgery reroutes blood around blocked or narrowed coronary arteries using grafts harvested from the patient's chest, leg, or arm. It is typically recommended when coronary artery disease is severe or extensive, or when other treatments have failed. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia with or without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure used to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, typically to treat arterial atherosclerosis.
