I haven't heard of CAGB before but according to ChatGPT it is "Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, also known as heart bypass surgery, is a procedure to improve blood flow to the heart by creating new paths around blocked or narrowed arteries". So it seems to me that's "bypass" surgery. Our neighbor had that and his surgery was open heart. I know because he saw me wearing a heart hugger and so he talked to me. I can't talk about doing this minimal invasive but make sure you go with a surgeon that has done at least a few hundred if not a few thousand of those. Recovery from OHS is a pain but there is something to be said about having direct access to the heart/arteries. My BIL wanted me to get minimal invasive surgery from Dr. Sullivan but I am not sure if he does CAGB. I also thought his office was a bit snobbish but he seems to be a top surgeon.
