Optimal Method of Pain Control After Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

coronary artery bypass grafting for patients who receive an intercostal block (an anesthetic
medicine injected in an area under the ribs) in the operating room and IV acetaminophen
(Tylenol) to those who receive an intercostal block and On-Q pain pump catheter (a balloon
pump attached to 2 small tubes near your procedure site that automatically delivers pain
medicine).
