Hi,
You should know that CABG solves only the problem with blocked arteries at the moment of the surgery. But atherosclerosis, which causes the blockage, is mot cured with CABG. So you should continue to take medications to prevent further narrowing or blocking of the arteries.
Hope this was helpful for you
Wishing you good health
