koszorúéráthidaló

The term "koszorúéráthidaló" is a Hungarian compound word. It literally translates to "coronary artery bypass" or "coronary artery bypass surgery." This medical procedure is a surgical intervention used to treat coronary artery disease, a condition where the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup.

During a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, a healthy blood vessel is taken from another part of the body, such as the leg, arm, or chest wall. This vessel, known as a graft, is then attached above and below the blocked section of the coronary artery. This creates a new pathway for blood to flow around the obstruction, restoring adequate blood supply to the heart muscle.

The primary goal of koszorúéráthidaló is to relieve symptoms such as chest pain (angina), improve heart function, and reduce the risk of heart attack. The procedure is a common and effective treatment for severe coronary artery disease, significantly improving the quality of life for many patients. Recovery time varies, but typically involves a hospital stay followed by a period of rehabilitation.
