Coronary artery bypass surgery, also coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, pronounced "cabbage") surgery, and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery is a surgical procedure performed to relieve angina 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 circulationsupplying the myocardium (heart muscle). This surgery is usually performed with the heart stopped, necessitating the usage of cardiopulmonary bypass; techniques are available to perform CABG on a beating heart, so-called "off-pump" surgery.

Why is the heart muscle unable to contract properly if the coronary artery becomes blocked?
The coronary arteries feed and bring oxygen to the heart muscle. If that artery is blocked, the muscle will die. It can not fix itself and the damage can be so bad that the muscle will tear and the person will die.If TPA can be give quickly, the clot maybe removed. Some times the problem can be prevented if bypass surgery is preformed on a very narrow artery.
