When medications and/or procedures like balloon angioplasty are unable to re-establish good blood flow to the heart, these blood vessels can be bypassed by an operation known as coronary artery bypass grafting or CABG. Bypass surgery certainly provides much better long term results than balloon angioplasty and stent insertion.
