hi,
welcome to healthcare magic.
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery, abbreviated CABG, is one of the most common treatments for coronary artery disease. When a heart surgeon performs a CABG, he re-routes the artery to go around a narrow or blocked vessel. Doctors often use XXXXXXX mammary arteries to create the bypass grafts, as this results in a higher success rate.
In the US, bypass surgery costs around $54,000 ,with an average cost of $20,673 to $37,924 in various studies.

thank you.
