CABG

This study tests whether a daily low dose of colchicine, a medicine usually used for gout, can help prevent the failure of bypass grafts in people who have had coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). About 100 adults will take colchicine for one year after surgery and have CT scan…

This study compares two common heart procedures—bypass surgery (CABG) and stents (PCI)—in 358 people with weak hearts (ejection fraction 40% or less) and multiple blocked arteries. The goal is to see which approach leads to better survival, fewer heart attacks or strokes, and imp…

This study looks at two ways to manage pain after coronary artery bypass surgery. One group gets morphine, the other gets a new medicine called tafalgin. The goal is to see if tafalgin works just as well for pain relief. About 100 adults having bypass surgery will take part.

This study tests whether custom pressure-guided elastic bandages can prevent leg swelling and other complications after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. About 106 adults having bypass surgery will be split into two groups: one gets the custom bandages, the other gets …

This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) to exercise training helps people who had heart bypass surgery feel less short of breath and improve their heart and lung fitness. About 66 adults aged 30-60 with low heart function will be split into three groups: one does cir…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can accurately evaluate how well surgeons perform a key step in heart bypass surgery. About 284 patients having their first bypass surgery will have their surgeon's technique analyzed by AI and compared to expert human ratings. The…

This study will follow 10,000 people with heart conditions (like heart failure, heart attack, or bypass surgery) who are going through cardiac rehab at a clinic in Davos, Switzerland. Researchers will collect health data, blood samples, and patient reports to learn what helps peo…

This study is testing a tool called Transit-Time Flow Measurement (TTFM) that uses sound waves during heart bypass surgery to check blood flow through the new grafts. The goal is to see if using this tool helps prevent grafts from failing. About 1,242 adults having their first no…

This study tests a small wearable device that measures lactate levels through the skin in 50 patients recovering from heart surgery. Researchers compare the device's readings to standard blood tests to see if it is accurate. If successful, the device could reduce the need for fre…

This study looks at 160 people with heart failure who are scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers want to see if a blood marker called GDF-15 can help predict serious heart events like heart attack or stroke in the year after surgery. Participants will be follow…

This study looks at four simple physical tests—like timed walking and standing up from a chair—to see which one best measures how well patients recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Researchers will test 150 adults aged 30-50 on the third and fifth day after …
