A "bypass machine" bypasses the heart and pumps oxygenated blood around the body. It is used during open-heart surgery.

A "coronary bypass" changes the route by which blood circulates to the heart. It is normally used when main blood vessels have become narrowed or blocked. This is what some people refer to as a "double bypass", "triple bypass", "quadruple bypass" etc... , depending on how many veins have to be re-routed.

A "gastric bypass" (weight-loss surgery) involves a large section of the stomach and small intestine being bypassed, so that fewer calories can be absorbed.

What does triple by-pass mean?

Triple bypass surgery is a type of coronary artery bypass surgery, and is a surgical procedure performed to relieve angina (or vessel blockage due) and reduce the risk of death from coronary artery disease. Arteries or veins from elsewhere in the patient's body are grafted to the coronary arteries to bypass atherosclerotic narrowings and improve the blood supply to the coronary circulation supplying the myocardium (heart muscle).The terms single bypass, double bypass, triple bypass, quadruple bypass and quintuple bypass refer to the number of coronary arteries bypassed in the procedure. In other words, a double bypass means two coronary arteries are bypassed (e.g. the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and right coronary artery (RCA)); a triple bypass means three vessels are bypassed (e.g. LAD, RCA, left circumflex artery (LCX)), and so on. Less commonly more than four coronary arteries may be bypassed.
