Heart bypass surgery scar. Close-up of a surgical scar on the arm of a 61-year-old male patient following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. During CABG,a section of healthy artery (here,removed from the arm) is attached to the diseased coronary artery in order to re-route the blood flow,bypassing the blocked coronary artery. This is usually to treat atherosclerosis,a build-up of fatty deposits that can lead to heart pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction) | |
