Vein graft support mesh for bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having coronary artery bypass surgery (with or without other heart procedures).
- Your leg veins are large enough and healthy enough to be used as grafts.
- During surgery, the blood flow through the graft must be adequate.

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.
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 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 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 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 study tests a new way to connect a bypass graft during heart bypass surgery for people with blocked heart arteries. The goal is to see if the new graft can be safely placed and works well enough to improve outcomes compared with the standard approach.
