NCT ID NCT06589323
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how many coronary artery bypass surgeries a surgical resident needs to perform to become skilled at using two imaging tools: transit-time flowmetry and high-frequency ultrasound. These tools help check the quality of the new blood vessels during surgery. The study enrolled 80 adult patients and tracked the residents' progress. The goal is to improve training and encourage wider use of these tools.
