Home > Heart Health > Heart Bypass Surgery
Heart bypass surgery is a life-saving surgery performed on hundreds of thousands of people in the United States each year. The surgery literally permits blood to "bypass" its normal artery route (which has become clogged), improving blood flow to the heart and reducing heart attack risk. Depending on how many arteries need to be bypassed, it is either a single, double, triple, or quadruple bypass surgery.
