Comparing two types of heart bypass grafts in women
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of grafts (the radial artery from the arm and a vein from the leg) used in women having heart bypass surgery for the first time. It aims to see which graft works better and stays open longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 74.
- You are having heart bypass surgery for the first time on three blocked heart arteries.
- Your heart pumps at least 35% of blood out each beat (left ventricular ejection fraction over 35%).
- The blocked arteries that will be treated are at least 1.5 mm wide and at least 70% blocked.
- You do not have poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c more than 8%), severe kidney disease, or need emergency 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 compares two types of blood vessels used in heart bypass surgery: the radial artery (from your forearm) versus a vein (typically from your leg). Researchers want to see which graft option works better and lasts longer in women with severe heart disease.
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 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 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 trial tests a new artificial blood vessel for heart bypass surgery. If you need a bypass and meet the health requirements, you may be able to receive this experimental graft.
