This 3D medical animation of the heart shows a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure used to combat coronary artery disease. Beginning with a midline sternal incision, the heart is connected to a perfusion machine which will take over the duties of the heart while the surgery takes place. Two different grafts are used to bypass the blocked coronary arteries: the internal thoracic artery from inside the chest wall, and the saphenous vein from the leg. After the procedure, the heart is shocked to restart its beating. A drainage tube is left at the incision site to drain away excess fluid. The animation continues to show two other types of approaches to a coronary artery bypass graft, off-pump bypass surgery and minimally invasive bypass surgery.

This is similar to the procedure performed on former president Bill Clinton and California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This was invented by Favaloro, a Doctor from Argentina.

He had a big debt because of his investigations, and after the "stent" the Goberment didn't pass money to him. Remember that he gave the Bypass to human kind, instead the inventor of the "stent" has it patented, and have money from every stent made in the world.

Because of this, Dr. Favaloro shut himself.

Again, Sionism and business are above all human things.

Cabbage, how silly! What was Gene Roddenberry thinking, when we can send men into outer space and still can't perfect this procedure, not to be flippant about such a serious issue. God bless all who endure this. One of my favourite singers, Marty Robbins, went through this with great courage. Laugh in the face of adversity!

Wow, 8 bypasses.

I'd like to know how the 'new' artery/vein gets blocked again when the patient lives a newfound, healthy lifestyle??
