Comparing two aortic clamping methods in off-pump bypass
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to clamp the aorta during off-pump heart bypass surgery to see which is safer for your brain and body. If you are having bypass surgery without a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have blockages in more than one heart artery and need bypass surgery without a heart-lung machine.
- You have not had heart surgery before.
- You are able to have an MRI (no pacemaker or other MRI issues).
- Your leg vein (great saphenous vein) is healthy enough to use as a bypass graft.

This study tests a special technique for heart bypass surgery that avoids clamping the aorta. It may help people with hardened arteries in the aorta who need bypass surgery but are not good candidates for standard clamping.
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 trial compares two types of bypass surgery for people with multiple blocked heart arteries, to see which one better improves quality of life and how well the bypasses stay open. You may be assigned based on your preferences, and the study also tracks heart scan and follow-up results.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches to repair a life-threatening tear or bulge in the large artery that carries blood from the heart (aorta). The study will help doctors determine which technique is safer and works better for patients needing this complex surgery.
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.
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.
