Print Mayo Clinic's approachAt Mayo Clinic, cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and other healthcare professionals work as a team to perform coronary artery bypass surgery and deliver coordinated, comprehensive care. Personalized treatment. Mayo healthcare professionals take the time to get to know you. They work with you to provide exactly the care you need. They evaluate you to learn if you're a candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Your healthcare team considers your individual needs and lifestyle to determine the best 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. It teaches you ways to improve your heart health after heart surgery. Advanced technology. Mayo Clinic cardiovascular surgeons use advanced surgical techniques. For example, a surgeon may perform CABG through small surgical cuts in the chest. This minimally invasive technique may result in fewer complications and a quicker recovery.
