Heart bypass upgrade: new study aims to boost use of superior grafts
NCT ID NCT07377149
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at ways to help surgeons use more artery grafts instead of vein grafts during heart bypass surgery, since artery grafts last longer. It will involve about 8,700 patients across many hospitals. The study does not test a new drug or device, but rather tests training and other quality improvement methods to encourage better surgical choices.
