CABG Provider Questions

Helpful Highlights

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgery that may not only mean the difference between life and death, but it can also make a big difference in how your loved one feels and their overall length and quality of life. Sometimes the surgery is done emergently, though often it is scheduled and you and your loved one can get prepared.

It is a major procedure, to say the least, and it’s normal to worry or feel anxious - even downright scared - about your loved one having this surgery. Taking the time to talk thoroughly with the cardiologist and get your concerns resolved is essential because knowing relieves much of the burden. They can provide you with information and resources to better understand what’s about to happen, as well as what to expect in the day, weeks, months, and years after. They can also guide you and your loved one on actions to avoid complications and have the best possible outcome.
