Studying vein grafts in older heart bypass patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 compares two ways of using a leg vein and an artery from your chest during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for making the new blood pathways to your 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 looks at how blood vessels age in people who are having heart bypass surgery. It will help doctors understand changes in the artery wall over time.
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 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.
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.
