Heart bypass surgery enhances longevity and quality of life

Heart bypass surgery, also known as CABG, is now a routine procedure that significantly improves patients' longevity and quality of life. Advances in technology have enhanced precision and safety, making the surgery less risky than in the past. Patients often fear that surgery will limit their activities, but many return to active lifestyles post-surgery. The procedure is performed when critical blockages are present, and it may involve angioplasty with stents for better long-term results. Recent improvements include robotic assistance and better imaging techniques, which enhance surgical accuracy. Patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle and consult both cardiologists and surgeons for optimal recovery.
