Blood flow during bypass surgery and graft recovery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- This is your first bypass surgery, and it was not an emergency.
- Your surgeon opened your chest with a cut down the middle for the surgery.
- You had bypass grafts on more than one blocked vessel.
- You are willing and able to have a special CT scan of your heart vessels after surgery and fill out quality-of-life questionnaires.

This trial tests a new way to monitor blood flow in the brain during heart bypass surgery. It may help patients who need coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a heart-lung machine.
This trial checks if a new way of measuring blood flow during heart bypass surgery helps improve outcomes. It's for people having planned (not emergency) bypass surgery for certain types of chest pain or heart attack.
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 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 study uses ultrasound during heart bypass surgery to check blood flow in the new grafts and arteries. It aims to make sure the bypass is working well, which could help reduce complications.
