Background: In India, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and a frequent health issue. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is one of the major surgeries; survival is not always the primary outcome of the surgery, and it will affect the patients’ mental and psychological wellbeing. Understanding the lived reviews of sufferers will assist fitness experts in providing tremendous care. Objective: To explore the lived experiences of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft. Methods: The study exploited a generic qualitative descriptive approach that aimed to explore the lived experiences of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafts. The study was conducted using Van Manen's method. A comprehensive, semi-structured, in-person interview method was utilised to investigate the patients' post-operative experiences. Between the ages of 30 and 70, seven males and four women were interviewed. Results: One main theme was constructed, namely the desire to live; this theme constitutes three sub-themes: obtaining family attention, cherishing hope, and having a spiritual perspective. Conclusion: Hence the outcomes suggested that the individuals experienced the desire to live following their operations. The overall result shows that after surgery, individuals frequently perceive their lives and health from a different perspective.
