Your heart cannot wait for a convenient appointment.
When a cardiologist tells you that you need coronary artery bypass grafting, the next question is almost always the same: where do I go, and who can I trust? For patients across Kalyan, Dombivli, and greater Thane, the answer sits closer than most people realise. Mahajan Heart Clinic on M G Road, Dombivli West, has been providing specialised cardiac care since 2013 under Dr. Vivek Mahajan — an interventional cardiologist trained at three of India's most respected medical institutions.
What Is Bypass Surgery and Who Actually Needs It?
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, commonly called CABG or bypass surgery, is a procedure that restores blood flow to the heart muscle when one or more coronary arteries become severely blocked. A healthy blood vessel — usually taken from the chest wall, arm, or leg — is grafted around the blocked section, creating a new route for blood to travel.
Bypass surgery in Kalyan is increasingly relevant as lifestyle diseases — uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol — continue to rise across Mumbai's satellite cities. Patients are often referred after an angiography report shows multi-vessel disease or a blockage that cannot be safely managed through angioplasty alone.
Symptoms That Should Never Be Ignored
Chest Pain That Comes and Goes
Recurring chest discomfort, especially during physical activity or emotional stress, is a classic warning sign of reduced blood flow to the heart.
Breathlessness at Rest
Struggling to breathe while sitting still or climbing a single flight of stairs can indicate that your heart is not pumping efficiently.
Unexplained Fatigue and Dizziness
Persistent tiredness without obvious cause, combined with occasional dizziness, warrants a detailed cardiology evaluation — not just a general physician visit.
If you experience any of these symptoms, do not delay. Early diagnosis through a 2D Echo test, TMT test, or Holter Monitor test can provide your cardiologist with the information needed to decide the right course of treatment.
The Diagnostic Path Before Bypass Surgery
No reputable cardiologist recommends surgery without thorough investigation. At Mahajan Heart Clinic, the diagnostic process typically includes:
- TMT Test (Treadmill Test / Stress Test): Evaluates how your heart responds under physical exertion.
- 2D Echo Test: Gives a real-time image of heart chambers, valves, and overall function.
- Holter Monitor Test: Records your heart's electrical activity over 24–48 hours for irregularities not visible in a standard ECG.
- Angiography: Maps the coronary arteries to identify the exact location and severity of blockages.
Dr. Mahajan personally reviews each test result during consultation. Patients travelling from Kalyan, Thane, and across Mumbai benefit from having a daily, appointment-based specialist available — not a rotating panel of doctors.
Bypass Surgery vs. Angioplasty — Which Is Right for You?
This is one of the most common questions during cardiology consultations. Angioplasty with stenting is often suitable for single-vessel disease or less complex blockages. Bypass surgery becomes the preferred option when multiple vessels are blocked, when the left main coronary artery is affected, or when the patient also has diabetes — because bypass has shown better long-term outcomes in these cases.
An experienced interventional cardiologist makes this recommendation based on your specific angiography findings, age, and overall cardiac function — not a generalised protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How long does recovery from bypass surgery typically take?
Most patients spend five to seven days in hospital after CABG. Full recovery at home usually takes six to twelve weeks, depending on age and overall health.
Q2. Is bypass surgery in Kalyan available nearby, or do I need to go to Mumbai city?
Patients from Kalyan can consult Dr. Vivek Mahajan at Mahajan Heart Clinic in Dombivli West — a short distance away — for specialised cardiac evaluation and surgical referral coordination.
Q3. What tests are done before bypass surgery?
Standard pre-surgical workup includes angiography, 2D Echo, blood tests, chest X-ray, and in some cases a stress test or Holter Monitor test.
Q4. Can diabetes affect bypass surgery outcomes?
Diabetes does increase surgical risk, but it also makes CABG preferable over angioplasty in multi-vessel disease. Your cardiologist will plan accordingly and coordinate with a diabetologist when needed.
Q5. What is the difference between angiography and angioplasty?
Angiography is a diagnostic procedure that maps coronary arteries using a contrast dye. Angioplasty is a treatment that opens blocked arteries using a balloon and stent. One diagnoses; the other treats.
