Is coronary bypass surgery in China right for you?

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) restores blood flow to the heart muscle by routing around blocked coronary arteries. It is usually recommended when blockages are extensive or not suitable for stenting.

The cardiac team decides between bypass surgery, stenting or medical therapy after reviewing angiography and heart function.

Final eligibility is decided by the treating hospital after reviewing your records.

What the hospital will usually need to review

  • Your most recent specialist letter or discharge summary
  • Imaging reports, plus the original image files where possible
  • Pathology or biopsy reports, if any
  • Treatment history and dates
  • Current medications and allergies

Any language is fine; translation is arranged during the review.

Why patients consider China for coronary bypass surgery

  • National cardiovascular center. Fuwai Hospital in Beijing hosts China's National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases.
  • Dedicated heart hospitals. Beijing Anzhen Hospital is a specialist cardiovascular teaching hospital.
  • Minimally invasive options. Major centers offer catheter-based procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for suitable patients.
  • Pediatric cardiac surgery. Children's hospitals and pediatric heart centers treat congenital heart disease in infants and children.

Waiting times vary by hospital and are confirmed during the case review. Horcare matches by department strength for the condition, not by how famous a hospital is.
