Heart Bypass Surgery

Heart Bypass Surgery

    When the narrowing of the arteries of the heart occurs, the process of placing the veins taken from various parts of the body to the ahead of the area where the constriction happens, is called Coronary Bypass Surgery (Heart Bypass Surgery with folk language). Symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue and fainting may appear, but no symptoms may occur in the early stage of the disease. This process does not cause a lack of function in the body.
