Symptoms that one might be having heart blockage include feeling of tightness and pain around chest area, nausea, sweating more than usual and indigestion.


Different Types of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting *Traditional Coronary Artery Grafting- This type of surgery is used especially when one of the major artery is blocked. The heart is stopped with proper medicines before it is operated upon. The chest bone is opened to access the heart. *Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting- This is similar to traditional bypass surgery in many ways but the heart is not stopped before operating. The chest bone is opened in this method as well. *Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting- This type of surgery differs from the above two as the chest bone is not opened in this type, instead several cuts are made between ribs in order to reach the heart.
