Which option is the abbreviation for coronary artery bypass graft?

• A. CABG stands for coronary artery bypass graft
• B. CABG
• C. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery
• D. Cardiac artery bypass graft

Answer: (B)

Understanding abbreviations means using the short form formed from the first letters of each word. For coronary artery bypass graft, the initials are C, A, B, G, which come together as CABG. This is the standard shorthand used to refer to the procedure, so the abbreviation itself is the correct choice. The other options either spell out the full term, introduce a slightly different term (like graft surgery or using “cardiac” instead of “coronary”), or present a statement about the abbreviation rather than the abbreviation itself.
