Compare one vs multiple heart artery grafts for bypass
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using one artery graft or multiple artery grafts during heart bypass surgery works better for people with specific coronary artery disease. You may be randomized to one approach, and the trial team will follow outcomes after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned bypass surgery (CABG) for blocked arteries mainly on the left side of the heart (left main and/or left front and left side arteries).
- You are 70 years old or younger.
- Your surgery is not an emergency, and you are not in an active/ongoing heart attack within 48 hours before/around surgery.
- Your heart pumping strength is at least 35% (ejection fraction 35% or higher).
- You have not had prior heart surgery, and no other major heart or non-heart procedures are planned at the same time.

This study compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
This study compares two ways of doing bypass surgery for blocked heart arteries: using only chest and arm arteries versus a mix of arteries and leg veins. The goal is to see which approach works better for long-term heart health.
This study compares two surgical techniques for heart bypass: using the left internal thoracic artery in one specific way versus another. It may help improve how well the bypass works in people who need bypass surgery for multiple blocked heart arteries.
This study compares two ways of using a leg vein and an artery from your chest during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for making the new blood pathways to your heart.
This study compares two ways to treat blockages in multiple heart arteries: one is standard bypass surgery, the other combines a less invasive stent procedure with bypass surgery. The goal is to see which approach works better with fewer risks while fully restoring blood flow to your heart.
This trial compares two types of blood vessels used in coronary artery bypass surgery: one from the arm (radial artery) and one from the leg (saphenous vein). The goal is to see which one works better for patients with severe heart disease.
