Coronary heart disease is currently one of the main causes of human death, being the leading cause of death in Western developed countries. In China, the number of deaths caused by coronary heart disease has been increasing year by year, and it is now the third leading cause of death among the Chinese population. Coronary artery bypass grafting is one of the most effective methods for treating coronary heart disease. It has a high success rate and good surgical outcomes. Postoperative patients can return to normal life and work. Currently, the number of patients undergoing this surgical treatment in China is also increasing year by year.
