At a glance

Coronary bypass clinics and specialist centres differ in the anatomy they treat, techniques they offer and evidence they publish. CABG routes blood around narrowed coronary arteries using grafts. It can relieve persistent angina and improve prognosis in selected coronary disease; the number and location of diseased arteries, diabetes and heart function shape the choice.

                            This list contains 13 clinics and specialist centres with a documented coronary bypass focus in our source-linked directory. It is an editorial shortlist, not a census or an outcome ranking.

                            Institutional expertise and published study results are identified separately. An individual doctor may participate in several treatment pathways; a study of one procedure does not establish outcomes for another.
