Patients who have multiple blockages in their blood vessels. In such patients, multiple stents may not be feasible or cost-effective. In such cases, the doctor advises the patient to undergo bypass surgery. Bypass surgery involves the arm, leg, or other part of the body. A blood vessel in the area is removed and replaced where it is blocked and a new path for blood flow in the heart's blood vessels is created. In this way, keeping the previous blockage in the blood vessel intact, the new route provides smooth blood supply to the heart and the patient's health improves.
