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)

This study looks at small particles in your blood to understand why bypass grafts can become blocked after coronary bypass surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and treat this complication by relating blood markers to what happens after surgery.
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 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 measures blood flow through bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery to see how well they are working. It could help improve surgical results for patients with certain types of heart disease.
