The tube that supplies blood to the wall of the heart is called the coronary artery. Cholesterol or fatty deposits in the coronary arteries turn into solids. These accumulated substances are called atheromatous plaques. This process is called arteriosclerosis. Coronary bypass is done through on-pump or off-pump or beating heart surgery. Doctors perform coronary bypass considering the patient’s age, coronary artery problems, symptoms, other problems, etc.
