Cardiopulmonary bypass is a procedure that diverts blood circulation away from your heart and lungs. It’s a routine part of many heart surgeries. “Cardio” refers to your heart, and “pulmonary” refers to your lungs. “Bypass” means to avoid something by going around it. So, cardiopulmonary bypass allows your blood to avoid your heart and lungs during your surgery.
CABG stands for coronary artery bypass grafting. This surgery creates a detour around one or more blockages in your coronary arteries. It helps people who have plaque buildup due to coronary artery disease. Your surgeon creates a new path for blood to flow to your heart.
Cardiopulmonary bypass is a procedure that often supports CABG. So, healthcare providers perform the procedures at the same time. Cardiopulmonary bypass creates a detour for blood to flow away from your heart and lungs. This helps your surgeon perform CABG more easily and safely.
