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 two types of blood vessels used in coronary artery bypass surgery: one from the arm (radial artery) and one from the leg (saphenous vein). The goal is to see which one works better for patients with severe heart disease.
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 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 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.
This trial tests a lab-made blood vessel (called an ATEV) used as a bypass graft during heart surgery. The ATEV is designed for people who don't have enough healthy leg vein for standard bypass grafts, and it may help restore blood flow to the heart more safely.
