Mayo Clinic's approach
At Mayo Clinic, cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and other health care providers work as a team to perform coronary artery bypass surgery and deliver coordinated, comprehensive care.
- Personalized treatment. Mayo health care providers take the time to get to know you. They work with you to provide exactly the care you need. They evaluate you to determine if you're a candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting, also called CABG. Your care team considers your individual needs and lifestyle to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.
- Continued care. Your treatment team may suggest that you participate in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Mayo Clinic. Cardiac rehabilitation is a personalized exercise and education program that teaches you ways to improve your heart health after heart surgery.
- Advanced technology. Mayo Clinic cardiovascular surgeons use innovative surgical techniques. For example, a surgeon may perform CABG through small incisions in the chest. This minimally invasive technique may result in fewer complications and a quicker recovery.
