Study blood markers in blocked grafts after bypass surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old
- You had coronary artery bypass surgery
- Your heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) is above 30%
- You can give informed consent and agree to study follow-up visits
- You should not be in need of emergency treatment right now

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.
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.
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 study looks at how blood flow readings during coronary artery bypass surgery relate to whether the new grafts stay open and how well patients recover. It aims to help improve long-term results for people needing bypass surgery.
This study looks at why some bypass grafts fail over time. It may help find better ways to treat or prevent graft problems in people who have had coronary artery bypass surgery.
This study follows patients who had heart bypass surgery guided by special CT scans and blood flow measurements. Researchers want to understand how well the surgery works and study a blood protein called Lp(a) that may affect heart health.
