CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING

This study aims to find out if using two arteries instead of one during heart bypass surgery leads to better long-term results for women. It will enroll 2,300 women undergoing their first bypass surgery and randomly assign them to receive either the single or double artery techni…

This study compares two less-invasive heart bypass surgery methods for patients with severe coronary artery disease. Researchers want to see if a new 'no-touch' technique, which avoids handling a major artery in the chest, is as safe and effective as a standard minimally invasive…

This study is looking at the safety and effectiveness of a 'hybrid' procedure for people with multiple blocked heart arteries. It combines a small bypass surgery on one major artery with stents placed in other blocked arteries. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients a…

This large study aims to find out if using the inhaled anesthetic desflurane is better than the intravenous drug propofol at protecting the heart during bypass surgery. It will enroll over 3,500 adults having planned heart bypass operations. The main goal is to see which method l…

This study is testing if a drug called colchicine, combined with a new surgical technique, can prevent a common irregular heartbeat that often occurs after heart bypass surgery. It will involve 140 patients who are scheduled for this surgery. The goal is to see if this new approa…
