Coronary bypass without cardiac catheterization without MCC
AI EXPLANATION: Triple coronary artery bypass surgery, commonly referred to as a triple bypass, is an open-heart procedure used to restore blood flow to the heart. When three of the heart's main arteries become severely narrowed or blocked by plaque, a surgeon harvests healthy blood vessels from another part of the body, such as the leg, arm, or chest. These healthy vessels are then attached above and below the blockages to create new pathways, allowing oxygen-rich blood to bypass the diseased arteries and nourish the heart muscle.
