Testing a new heart bypass graft in people needing multi-vessel CABG
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to connect a bypass graft during heart bypass surgery for people with blocked heart arteries. The goal is to see if the new graft can be safely placed and works well enough to improve outcomes compared with the standard approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and expected to live at least 2 years
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) bypass surgery for multiple blocked heart vessels
- Your surgeon plans a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to your LAD artery and it is feasible
- The target artery has a blockage or very tight narrowing and is large enough (at least 2 mm) with good blood flow beyond the blockage
- You can agree to the study and allow follow-up scans and a heart catheter test (coronary angiogram)

This trial tests a lab-made blood vessel (called an ATEV) used as a bypass graft during heart surgery. The ATEV is designed for people who don't have enough healthy leg vein for standard bypass grafts, and it may help restore blood flow to the heart more safely.
This trial compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in three main heart arteries. It tests a hybrid approach that combines a small incision bypass with a stent, versus a standard off-pump bypass. This may mean less recovery time for some patients.
This trial tests a new artificial blood vessel for heart bypass surgery. If you need a bypass and meet the health requirements, you may be able to receive this experimental graft.
This study compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in multiple heart arteries: a newer, less invasive technique (minimally invasive CABG) versus the traditional open-chest approach. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
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 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.
