Bypass surgery times and ICU stay length
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how long people stay in the intensive care unit after planned coronary artery bypass surgery. It checks if the time spent on the heart-lung machine or with the aorta clamped affects recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had planned (non-emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery between 2019 and 2025.
- You did not have any other heart surgeries like valve repair or aortic surgery at the same time.
- This was your first coronary bypass surgery (not a repeat operation).
- All your medical records from that surgery must be available and complete.

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 study measures blood flow through bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery to see how well they are working. It could help improve surgical results for patients with certain types of heart disease.
This study looks at what factors affect recovery in people having planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find out what helps predict a good recovery.
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 study looks at how ventilator (breathing machine) settings during heart bypass surgery may affect lung complications after surgery. Researchers will monitor your breathing machine data to understand the safest approach for your lungs during the operation.
This study looks at patient data from people who had a planned coronary artery bypass graft (heart bypass) to create a better way to predict risks. It may help future patients understand their own surgery risks.
