Measuring blood flow during coronary bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks if a new way of measuring blood flow during heart bypass surgery helps improve outcomes. It's for people having planned (not emergency) bypass surgery for certain types of chest pain or heart attack.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are having coronary artery bypass surgery (with or without a heart-lung machine).
- You have stable angina, unstable angina, or a heart attack known as NSTEMI.
- You are not having emergency surgery.
- You are not having another heart procedure at the same time.
- You are not having a single bypass (only one graft).

This study uses ultrasound during heart bypass surgery to check blood flow in the new grafts and arteries. It aims to make sure the bypass is working well, which could help reduce complications.
This trial studies whether a special heart “pressure/flow ratio” test (measured during the procedure) can help doctors choose the best plan for coronary bypass surgery. It may improve how bypass targets the problem blood vessels, but only if certain heart and health factors fit the study rules.
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.
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 tests a new way to measure blood flow in narrowed arteries after you've had a stent placed for a heart attack. It may help doctors decide if you need more treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This trial compares different strategies for keeping a specific blood pressure level during heart-lung bypass surgery. It may help reduce complications by finding the safest blood pressure target during the operation.
