Two bypass techniques using leg vein and chest artery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using a leg vein and an artery from your chest during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for making the new blood pathways to your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have coronary artery bypass grafting (heart bypass surgery).
- You are older than 19 years.
- Your planned bypass will use the left internal chest artery and a leg vein (saphenous vein).
- The surgery is not an emergency operation.
- No other major procedures are planned at the same time (like heart valve or aorta surgery).
- The study team must be able to use both the chest artery and the leg vein for the graft.

This trial compares using only your own arteries (like the radial artery in your arm) versus using a mix of arteries and leg veins for bypass grafts. It aims to see which approach works better for people with multiple blocked heart arteries.
This study compares two surgical techniques for heart bypass: using the left internal thoracic artery in one specific way versus another. It may help improve how well the bypass works in people who need bypass surgery for multiple blocked heart arteries.
This study looks at whether using one artery graft or multiple artery grafts during heart bypass surgery works better for people with specific coronary artery disease. You may be randomized to one approach, and the trial team will follow outcomes after surgery.
This trial compares using either the radial artery from your wrist or the saphenous vein from your leg for bypass grafts in first-time heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see which blood vessel works better over time.
This trial compares two ways of taking a vein from your leg during heart bypass surgery to see which causes fewer problems. The goal is to find the best method for your recovery.
This study compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
