Support mesh for vein grafts in heart bypass
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new external support mesh wrapped around vein grafts used in heart bypass surgery to see if it helps them stay open longer. The trial is for people having planned bypass surgery for multiple blocked arteries with no recent blood clots or current use of certain blood thinners.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of bypass surgery for blocked leg arteries. One uses a standard vein from your own body, and the other uses a vein supported by a special metal frame. The goal is to see which works better and lasts longer.
This trial tests a mesh wrap that supports the vein grafts used in bypass surgery. It may help those grafts stay open longer, especially for the right side of the heart.
This study looks at how vein bypass grafts are working over time in people who had heart bypass surgery and now have recurring angina (chest discomfort). It may help doctors better understand why symptoms come back and how the heart and grafts change.
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.
This trial looks at how vein grafts work in older adults who need coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to understand why grafts sometimes fail, so doctors can improve treatment.
This study tests a small mesh support called VasQ that is placed around your new fistula to help it heal and stay open longer. It is for people who are getting a new fistula for dialysis access.
