Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is a procedure to replace damaged or blocked arteries in the heart with blood vessels from another part of the body.

Patients with severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked, may need bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart.

A surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm, or chest and connects it to the blocked coronary artery, bypassing the blocked section to improve blood flow.

Risks include infection, bleeding, heart attack, stroke, and reactions to anaesthesia, though serious complications are rare.

The surgery typically lasts between 3 to 6 hours, depending on the number of arteries being bypassed and the patient’s condition.

Candidates typically include individuals with severe obesity (BMI of 40 or higher) or those with a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health issues.

The S. IgE Test measures IgE antibodies in the blood to diagnose and manage allergic conditions and asthma.

A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm and sent to the laboratory for analysis.

No special preparation is required, but inform your healthcare provider of any medications you are taking.

Results are typically available within a few days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.

Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to identify potential allergens and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
