Aging of blood vessels in heart bypass patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are scheduled to have coronary artery bypass surgery (heart bypass surgery).
- You do not have high blood pressure (hypertension).
- You do not have diabetes.
- You do not have a systemic inflammatory disease (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).

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 blood vessel aging relates to the type of fatty buildup in your arteries that can cause heart attacks. If you've had a recent heart attack, chest pain (angina), or minor artery disease and do not have advanced heart failure, kidney failure, active cancer, or prior bypass surgery, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how blood flow readings during coronary artery bypass surgery relate to whether the new grafts stay open and how well patients recover. It aims to help improve long-term results for people needing bypass surgery.
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 study looks at small particles in your blood to understand why bypass grafts can become blocked after coronary bypass surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and treat this complication by relating blood markers to what happens after surgery.
This trial measures how well tiny blood vessels in the heart are working in people who have had a heart transplant. It may help doctors understand transplant-related circulation problems and guide future care.
