Heart bypass showdown: does using more arteries save lives?
NCT ID NCT03217006
First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using two or more artery grafts during heart bypass surgery is better than using just one. The goal is to see if more grafts lower the risk of death, stroke, heart attack, or needing another procedure. About 4,300 adults with coronary artery disease will take part, and they will be randomly assigned to receive either one or multiple artery grafts.
