CABG

This study compares two common heart procedures—bypass surgery (CABG) and stenting (PCI)—in 358 people with weak hearts (low pumping function) and multiple blocked arteries. The goal is to see which approach leads to better survival, fewer heart attacks or strokes, and improved q…

This study tests whether custom-fitted pressure bandages can prevent leg swelling and other complications after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 106 adults will be split into two groups: one gets the special bandages, the other gets standard care. Researchers will check for …

This study tests whether taking a daily low dose of colchicine (a drug usually used for gout) for one year after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can reduce the chance of the new blood vessels (grafts) failing. About 100 adults who recently had bypass surgery will take colc…

This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) to exercise training helps people who had heart bypass surgery breathe easier, get fitter, and feel better. 66 adults with reduced heart function and ongoing shortness of breath will be split into three groups: one doing VR-enh…

This study looks at two ways to manage pain after coronary artery bypass surgery. One group gets morphine, the other gets a new medicine called tafalgin. The goal is to see if tafalgin works just as well for pain relief. About 100 adults having bypass surgery will take part.

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can accurately evaluate how well surgeons perform a key step in heart bypass surgery. About 284 patients having their first bypass will have their surgeon's stitching technique analyzed by both AI and human experts. The goal is to …

This study looks at 160 people with heart failure who are scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers want to see if a substance in the blood called GDF-15 can help predict serious heart problems, like heart attacks or hospital stays, in the year after surgery. Part…

This study tests a small, wearable sensor that measures lactate levels through the skin in people recovering from heart surgery. Researchers want to see if the sensor is as accurate as standard blood tests. If it works, it could mean fewer needle sticks and faster monitoring for …

This study looks at four simple physical tests—like timed walking and standing up from a chair—to see which one best measures how well patients recover after coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will test 150 adults aged 30-50 on the third and fifth day after surgery. The …

This study will follow 10,000 people with heart conditions (like heart failure, heart attack, or bypass surgery) who are going through cardiac rehab at a clinic in Davos, Switzerland. Researchers will collect health data, blood samples, and patient reports to learn what helps peo…

This study looks at a tool called Transit-Time Flow Measurement (TTFM) that uses sound waves during heart bypass surgery to check blood flow through new blood vessels. The goal is to see if using this tool helps prevent the new vessels from failing. About 1242 adults having their…
