aortocoronary
The patient had an aortocoronary bypass.
"An aortocoronary bypass is a surgery in which a healthy blood vessel taken from another part of the body is used to make a new path for blood around a blocked artery leading to the heart. This restores the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the
heart."

You'll also find Ao = Aorta in Acromed.
Here's what Wikipedia says about this surgery: "There are many variations in terminology, in which one or more of "artery", "bypass" or "graft" is left out. The most frequently used acronym for this type of surgery is CABG (pronounced 'cabbage'),[1] pluralized as CABGs (pronounced 'cabbages'). Initially the term aortocoronary bypass (ACB) was more popularly used to describe this procedure.[2]" You'll still find enough online examples of "aortocoronary byass" to make it a valid option; it will certainly be understood by medical professionals.
