Comparing two bypass surgery methods for multiple blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing bypass surgery for blocked heart arteries: using only chest and arm arteries versus a mix of arteries and leg veins. The goal is to see which approach works better for long-term heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have blockages in several heart arteries.
- You are scheduled for bypass surgery that needs at least three bypass grafts.
- Your right coronary artery has a severe narrowing (more than 75%).
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 72 hours.
- You have not had prior bypass surgery or other open-heart surgery.

This study looks at whether using one artery graft or multiple artery grafts during heart bypass surgery works better for people with specific coronary artery disease. You may be randomized to one approach, and the trial team will follow outcomes after surgery.
This trial compares two types of blood vessels used in coronary artery bypass surgery: one from the arm (radial artery) and one from the leg (saphenous vein). The goal is to see which one works better for patients with severe heart disease.
This study compares two surgical techniques for heart bypass: using the left internal thoracic artery in one specific way versus another. It may help improve how well the bypass works in people who need bypass surgery for multiple blocked heart arteries.
This trial compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in multiple coronary arteries. The study uses a smaller cut in the breastbone to see if it leads to similar results and faster recovery.
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 compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
