Testing heart blood markers to spot early bypass blockage
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether heart blood tests can predict early blockage of a coronary bypass graft soon after bypass surgery. It may help doctors identify patients at higher risk sooner so they can monitor or treat problems earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having an isolated coronary bypass surgery (not combined with another procedure)
- You agree to take part and give informed consent
- You can have a heart CT scan (CCT) around the time of discharge
- You do not have a known allergy to iodine-based contrast dye
- Your kidney function is adequate (not severely reduced)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a special CT heart scan (CT angiography) can show how well bypass grafts are working in people who had a CABG after an acute coronary syndrome. It compares people managed with two anti-platelet medicines versus one aspirin, aiming to understand how well grafts stay open and guide care.
This study tests whether having a CT scan of the heart before a standard heart catheterization is helpful for people who have had bypass surgery. It could reduce risks and improve planning.
This trial compares two imaging methods used before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to check for blocked heart vessels. The goal is to see if a CT scan is as good as the standard angiogram and equally helpful for planning surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple heart test can predict how well your body has built extra blood vessels to get around a completely blocked artery. It may help doctors understand your condition better without extra procedures.
This trial checks if a new way of measuring blood flow during heart bypass surgery helps improve outcomes. It's for people having planned (not emergency) bypass surgery for certain types of chest pain or heart attack.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
