| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Heart bypass surgery |
 | | After the patient is anesthetized and completely free from pain, the heart surgeon makes an incision in the middle of the chest and separates the breastbone. | | | In the traditional surgery, the patient is connected to the heart-lung machine, or bypass pump, which adds oxygen to the blood and circulates blood to other parts of the body during the surgery. | | | Coronary bypass surgery can now be performed with the aid of a robot, which allows the surgeon to perform the operation without even being in the same room as the patient. |

| | Bypass surgery: New pathways for blocked arteries - MayoClinic.com |
| | Coronary bypass surgery is one of the most common and effective procedures to manage blockage of blood to the heart muscle. | | | Coronary bypass surgery is a way to treat blocked heart arteries by creating new passages for blood to flow to your heart muscle. | | | You have debilitating angina, or chest pain, because several of the arteries that supply your heart muscle are narrowed, leaving the muscle short of blood. |

| | During bypass surgery, the chest bone is separated, and the ribs are spread apart to allow visible and physical access to the heart. | | | The current success rate for bypass surgery is 95 to 98 percent, meaning that between 2 and 5 percent of all patients have complications, including death. | | | It is usually taken from the internal mammary artery in the chest, the saphenous veins from the leg, or in rare instances from the radial artery in the arm. |

| | Off-Pump Heart Bypass Surgery |
| | During both procedures, the patient's heart continues to beat and the surgeon uses special instruments to stabilize the heart, allowing the surgeon to sew the bypass graft on a moving field (while the heart is beating). | | | Most people are surprised to learn that in "traditional" bypass surgery, surgeons use the assistance of the heart-lung machine along with medications to stop the heart so the bypass can be performed on a motionless field. | | | Minimally invasive in terms of coronary artery bypass surgery refers to a surgery performed "off-pump" or while the heart continues to beat. |
