What is bypassed in bypass?
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.
