NCT ID NCT06629701

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding an external support device to vein grafts during heart bypass surgery helps keep them open over time. Researchers will compare patients who receive the support with those who don't, tracking graft function and symptoms like chest pain. The goal is to improve long-term outcomes for people with multiple blocked heart arteries.
