iFR-guided bypass surgery planning during elective heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using a pressure-measurement test called iFR during a pre-surgery heart scan can help guide coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). It may improve how doctors choose which artery blockages to treat during planned surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 25 and 80 years old.
- You plan to have elective (planned) first-time coronary bypass surgery.
- The doctors already have pre-surgery angiography images that include iFR measurements.
- You’re able and willing to read, understand, and sign the consent form before surgery.
- Your surgery is not an emergency situation.

This trial studies whether a special heart “pressure/flow ratio” test (measured during the procedure) can help doctors choose the best plan for coronary bypass surgery. It may improve how bypass targets the problem blood vessels, but only if certain heart and health factors fit the study rules.
This trial compares two ways to plan heart bypass surgery: a CT scan that measures blood flow (CT-FFR) versus the usual heart catheter X-ray (angiogram). It aims to see which method leads to better outcomes for people with blocked heart arteries.
This study follows people who have narrowed heart arteries and have a pressure test (FFR) to guide treatment. It may help doctors understand the course of disease when using FFR and choosing a minimally invasive approach.
This study looks at tiny structures inside heart muscle cells (especially “power stations” in the cells) in people with certain types of heart failure who are getting coronary bypass surgery. It may help researchers better understand what changes happen in the heart and how this could guide future care.
This trial uses a special pressure wire called RFR to help doctors decide whether a stent is needed for a moderate heart artery blockage. It aims to make sure only the blockages that really need treatment get stented, which may reduce unnecessary procedures.
This study looks at a specific heart blood-flow measurement taken during a coronary procedure to see how well it predicts future outcomes. If you had a successful pressure measurement called FFR with a tracing, your results may be analyzed to understand risk and prognosis.
