Preventing leg swelling after bypass surgery with a special bandage
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a custom pressure-guided elastic bandage to prevent leg swelling after coronary artery bypass surgery. The bandage is wrapped around the leg where a vein was taken for the bypass.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) where a vein will be taken from your leg.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have poor blood flow in your legs (ankle-brachial index less than 0.8).
- You do not have severe leg swelling or heart failure that is not controlled with medicine.
- You do not have a condition that blocks leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) or causes poor leg vein flow (chronic venous insufficiency).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of taking a vein from your leg for heart bypass surgery: one using smaller incisions (endoscopic) and the other using a longer cut (open). The goal is to see which method leads to fewer wound problems, which could mean less pain and faster recovery.
This study compares two types of compression bandages to see if one is as good as the other for treating venous leg ulcers. If you have a leg ulcer that has not healed, this trial may help improve your treatment.
This trial studies whether a specific type of compression helps reduce swelling in the leg after a bypass surgery to improve blood flow. It may help people manage “edema” (fluid-related swelling) while healing after revascularization.
This trial compares two ways of closing the leg after doctors remove a vein for heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This trial tests if using shockwave therapy on leg veins during coronary artery bypass surgery can help the leg wound heal better. It may be a good fit if you need 2 or more vein grafts and have stable kidney function.
This study tests a new portable device that wraps around your leg to gently squeeze and reduce swelling from lymphedema or vein problems. It aims to see if at-home use can improve symptoms and lower healthcare costs compared to standard care.
