bypass surgery
Arterial detour procedure
Bypass surgery reroutes blood flow around a blocked or damaged vessel, most commonly in the heart.
In coronary bypass, surgeons graft a healthy vessel to circumvent clogged arteries: He needed triple bypass surgery after the heart attack.
The procedure can also address blocked vessels in the legs or other areas.
