NCT ID NCT07068776
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether applying shockwaves to leg wounds after vein harvesting can reduce healing problems in people undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. About 120 participants will receive either real shockwave treatment or a sham (fake) treatment. The goal is to see if shockwaves can lower the risk of infection and improve wound healing.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could reduce wound infections and speed healing after bypass surgery, making recovery easier for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. The sham control may show no difference, and results may not apply to all patients. Shockwave therapy is not a standard treatment for this use.
