Comparing hybrid heart treatment to bypass surgery for multi-vessel disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can give informed consent.
- You have significant narrowing in at least two of your heart's major arteries (or their large branches), as confirmed by a heart specialist.
- You have narrowing in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and at least one other major artery of 2.5mm or more.
- You do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR below 20).
- You have not had a major heart attack (STEMI) within the last month and do not need emergency heart treatment.
- You can take blood thinners (dual antiplatelet therapy) unless your doctor says it's unsafe.

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 study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stent procedure (PCI)—in people with a weak pumping heart. It looks at which approach works best when the heart muscle is not pumping well and there are multiple blocked heart arteries.
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 compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
This study compares two common ways to treat blocked heart arteries: bypass surgery and stenting. It aims to find which works better for Black and Hispanic patients with multiple blockages.
This trial compares a less invasive robot-assisted heart bypass plus stenting against standard heart bypass surgery. It is for people with multiple blocked heart arteries who have extra risk factors that make regular surgery more dangerous.
