Heart bypass grafts
Heart bypass grafts. 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. Three grafts are seen running from the aorta, the main body artery, back to the coronary arteries, secured by sutures (black). Three grafts makes this a triple bypass operation, indicating an advanced state of heart disease

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate details of a heart that has undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery to treat blockages in the coronary arteries. The image vividly depicts the delicate network of small blood vessels, known as coronary arteries, that supply oxygenated blood to keep the heart muscle pumping. However, when these vital pathways become obstructed by fatty deposits, they can lead to life-threatening heart attacks. In this particular case, three grafts are prominently displayed, originating from the main body artery called the aorta and extending back to bypass the blocked coronary arteries. This triple bypass operation signifies an advanced stage of heart disease and highlights how CABG surgery is employed as a solution for such critical conditions. The meticulous sutures securing each graft serve as a testament to surgical expertise and precision required during this procedure. By harvesting healthy arteries from other parts of the body, skilled surgeons successfully redirect blood flow around blockages, restoring proper circulation and preventing further damage. This remarkable illustration not only provides insight into medical interventions but also emphasizes the importance of cardiovascular health. It serves as a powerful reminder that maintaining healthy lifestyle choices is crucial in preventing arterial disorders like arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD), which often result from cholesterol buildup or atherosclerosis. Science Photo Library's print beautifully captures both scientific accuracy and artistic brilliance while shedding light on one of modern medicine's most significant advancements in cardiac care - CABG surgery.
