Bypass Surgery Center

Bypass surgery involves creating a detour around a blocked artery, usually a coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart (coronary artery bypass surgery) but may be done in other areas (peripheral bypass). Bypass may be minimally invasive or open heart surgery. It may also use a heart lung machine or with endoscopic vein harvesting.
