Answer 1

coronary artery bypass grafting surgical procedure was performed on Marian

Step-by-step explanation:

Weak blood flow to the heart can be processed by the method of Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It may be required when the veins providing blood to coronary arteries, are narrowed or obstructed. CABG may also be done in an urgency, such as a critical heart attack.

CABG uses blood vessels from another part of the body and combines them to blood vessels above and below the narrowed artery, neglecting the narrowed or obstructed coronary arteries. One or further blood vessels may be used, depending on the cruelty and amount of blockages. The blood vessels are regularly veins from the arm or chest or veins from the legs.
