Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I don't know about the cost of CABG (Coronary artery bypass grafting) in dubai.
But he is definitely at risk of life if he travels in this situation.
He is having eight arteries blocked. This is urgent need for CABG.
And air travel is strictly contraindicated in such patients.
If you still insist to get CABG done in Canada then take him Canada in air ambulance.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
