What is bypass surgery?
In bypass surgery, a new route for blood flow is created from the heart, bypassing the artery, which is already blocked. During this surgery, the cardiac surgeon uses arteries from the patient’s chest wall or takes a portion of a healthy vein from the leg.
What is angioplasty?
Angioplasty, on the other hand, is a minimally-invasive treatment in which the blockage in the artery is treated by placing a stent. A stent is a minuscule metal tube. A stent is usually placed in the clogged artery for minimizing the risk of getting narrow again. A small cut is made on the arm or in the groin area, and a balloon-tipped catheter is inserted in the place of the arterial blockage. The balloon is inflated there for widening the artery and a stent is placed. This treatment is effective for single or double vessel disease.
