Sue had a complex blockages of her coronary arteries that were not able to be treated further with medications or with angioplasty or the placement of a stent, our cardiologist recommend a coronary artery bypass surgery.

The problem with the arteries
Sue had bloackages on the Left Coronary Artery and the Circumflex Artery

The problem is solved with a heart bypass operation
Using the patients our arteries removed from the chest and leg, the are grafted onto the aoreta

Returing normal blood flow to the veins/arteries and of course the all important heart muscle.
