Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery reroutes blood flow around blocked coronary arteries using a healthy blood vessel taken from elsewhere in the body, restoring normal circulation to the heart muscle. It's recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease that hasn't responded to medication or angioplasty.
OMCA's cardiac network performs both traditional on-pump and minimally invasive off-pump (beating-heart) bypass surgery, with every patient assigned a dedicated case manager, cardiac anesthesiologist consultation, and a structured 4–6 week recovery plan before you fly home.
Angiography, blood work and cardiac fitness tests confirm you're ready for surgery, usually completed within 1–2 days of arrival.
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon grafts a healthy vessel to reroute blood around the blocked artery. Most procedures take 3–6 hours.
1–2 days of close monitoring in the cardiac ICU immediately after surgery, before moving to a private recovery room.
4–6 days of ward recovery with guided breathing exercises and early mobility, supervised by a cardiac physiotherapist.
You're cleared to fly after a final cardiologist check, with a 4–6 week home recovery plan and remote follow-up consultations.
CABG surgery in the US or UK typically costs $70,000–$150,000. Here's how OMCA's accredited partner countries compare.

Your cardiologist will decide based on the number and location of blockages. Multi-vessel disease, left main artery blockage, or diabetes often favor CABG over angioplasty. Our coordinators will forward your angiography report to a specialist for a free opinion.
Yes — most of our partner hospitals offer both on-pump and off-pump CABG. Off-pump avoids the heart-lung machine and may mean a slightly shorter recovery for eligible patients.
You'll need to stay in-country for about 2 weeks after discharge for follow-up checks before your cardiologist clears you to fly. Long-haul flights are generally not advised until 4 weeks post-surgery.
Surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, ICU and ward stay, standard medications, and routine post-op tests. Complex cases (redo surgery, valve combination) may cost more — your quote will always be confirmed after report review.
Mechanical or tissue valve replacement for patients with valve stenosis or regurgitation.
Minimally invasive stent placement to open blocked arteries, often a day-care or overnight procedure.
Permanent pacemaker implant to regulate abnormal heart rhythms, done under local or light general anesthesia.
