Single vs multiple bypass grafts for women heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- You are having first-time, planned coronary bypass surgery (not an emergency)
- Your heart arteries have significant blockage in the left main and/or the left front and left side artery areas
- Your heart pumping strength (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 35% or higher
- You should not need any other major heart or non-heart procedures at the same time
- You can use the needed blood vessels for grafting (saphenous vein and/or both types of arteries listed by the study team)

This study compares two common procedures to improve blood flow to the heart in women with blockages in multiple heart arteries. It aims to find which approach works better for women and may help guide future treatment decisions.
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.
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 trial compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in multiple coronary arteries. The study uses a smaller cut in the breastbone to see if it leads to similar results and faster recovery.
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 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.
