 University of Chicago Hospitals: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Although beating-heart bypass is not an option for all patients requiring bypass surgery, our experienced surgeons are frequently able to offer it safely to many patients refused for beating-heart bypass by other hospitals.
University of Chicago Hospitals Cardiac Center heart surgeons regularly perform bypass surgery and are using innovative techniques that have allowed them to offer bypass as an option to patients not traditionally considered candidates for the procedure.
The goal of the surgery is to improve blood flow and alleviate chest pain and other symptoms.

 Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting CHOICE For Holy Cross Hospital
Bypass surgery restores blood flow through the heart but does not cure heart disease; the grafted blood vessels can also become clogged.
Certain medical centers are using a less invasive approach to coronary artery bypass grafting, called minimally invasive coronary artery surgery.
In this technique, a small incision is made in the chest, over the site of the clogged artery.

 Englewood Hospital Cardiac Surgery Program Ranks #1 in New Jersey
Only 52% of all open-heart surgeries performed at the Medical Center in 2001 were isolated CABGs, compared to the state average of 70% for all 16 programs.
The cardiac surgery program at Englewood has also distinguished itself by its high proportion of highly complex cases, often accepting patients who have been turned away by other institutions.
The study took into account isolated CABG surgeries: bypass surgery that included no other major surgery during the same admission.

 Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
Your doctor uses one or both of these vessels to bypass the old, diseased coronary artery and to build a new pathway for blood to reach the heart muscle.
Your heart is located in the center of your chest.
Of course, operating on the heart is a complex and delicate process and in the case of bypass surgery, your doctor will most likely need to stop your heart before installing the graft.

 Globes [online] - Pharmos: Good results for clinical study of dexanabinol in coronary artery bypass graft patients
Julian Keith, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and an advisor to Pharmos, said, "Despite the small sample size, this study suggests that dexanabinol may rescue learning mechanisms that are vulnerable to bypass surgery.
Pharmos's double blinded, placebo controlled, randomized trial enrolled 202 patients undergoing elective CABG surgery at six medical centers in Israel.
CABG is performed in about 800,000 patients per year worldwide and 500,000 patients per year in the U.S. If other coronary surgeries are included, the patient population would be well over one million.
