Heart bypass graft, artwork
Heart bypass graft. Computer artwork of a heart that has had a blockage of the coronary arteries treated by coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The coronary arteries are the small blood vessels seen running over the outer surface of the heart. They supply oxygenated blood to keep the heart muscle pumping, and a blockage can cause a fatal heart attack. The solution is to harvest arteries from elsewhere in the body and use them to bypass the blockage. One graft is seen running from the aorta, the main body artery, back to the coronary arteries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Heart Bypass Graft" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of cardiac surgery. Created by artist Alfred Pasieka, this computer-generated image beautifully illustrates the life-saving procedure known as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The heart depicted in this print has been affected by blockages in its coronary arteries, which are responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to keep the heart muscle functioning properly. Such blockages can lead to fatal heart attacks if left untreated. However, CABG surgery provides a solution by rerouting blood flow through harvested arteries from other parts of the body. In this artwork, one graft is prominently displayed, originating from the aorta – our main body artery – and skillfully maneuvering back towards the coronary arteries. The meticulous attention to detail showcases both the complexity and precision required during such an operation. Pasieka's artistic interpretation not only highlights medical advancements but also serves as a reminder of our vulnerability when it comes to cardiovascular health. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to appreciate both the fragility and resilience of our bodies while acknowledging modern medicine's ability to combat arterial diseases like arteriosclerosis. "Heart Bypass Graft" stands as an awe-inspiring testament to human ingenuity and serves as a poignant symbol of hope for those affected by cardiovascular conditions worldwide.
