Morphology
minimally + invasive + coronary + bypass + surgery
The phrase is fully compositional: 'minimally invasive' (using very small incisions), combined with 'coronary bypass surgery' (creating a bypass around blocked coronary arteries) yields a clear overall meaning of a bypass operation performed through small incisions. Although medical, the standard adjective+noun and noun-noun combination follows predictable English patterns, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer the procedure's basic idea.
Etymology
Minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery comes from the idea of doing a coronary bypass through very small cuts instead of opening the chest. Surgeons use small tools and a camera while the heart keeps beating to make a new path around blocked arteries, so the phrase means 'bypass surgery using small incisions' and usually a quicker recovery.
