  Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Mortality   TABLE     BACK to List of Indicators D  R  A  F T
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery reroutes or 'bypasses' blood around clogged arteries to improve the supply of oxygenated blood to the heart. Thousands of bypass surgeries are performed each year and the death rate is relatively low. However, this relatively common procedure requires skill in the use of complex equipment.
