Surgical blood rerouting
An arterial bypass is a surgical procedure that reroutes blood flow around a blocked or narrowed artery, typically using a healthy blood vessel grafted from elsewhere in the body.
Most commonly refers to coronary artery bypass surgery, which redirects blood around clogged heart arteries: He had a triple arterial bypass after his heart attack.
The term also applies to bypasses of leg, neck, or other arteries.
