CABG

This study compares two common heart procedures—bypass surgery (CABG) and stenting (PCI)—in 358 people with weak hearts (ejection fraction 40% or less) and multiple blocked arteries. The goal is to see which approach leads to better survival, fewer heart attacks or strokes, and i…

This study tests whether taking a low dose of colchicine (a medicine used for gout) every day for a year can prevent the new blood vessels created during heart bypass surgery from failing. About 100 adults who recently had bypass surgery will take colchicine or no extra treatment…

This study tests a new pain medicine called tafalgin against morphine in 100 adults recovering from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Participants receive either a single shot of morphine or tafalgin when their pain level is high. The goal is to see if tafalgin controls pai…

This study compares two solutions used to protect the heart during coronary artery bypass surgery: standard blood cardioplegia and del Nido cardioplegia. Researchers will use MRI scans to see which solution better preserves heart muscle. The trial involves 60 adults with multives…

This study will follow 10,000 people who are doing cardiac rehabilitation (heart rehab) at a clinic in Davos, Switzerland. The goal is to learn what helps or hinders recovery after heart problems like heart failure, heart attack, or heart surgery. Researchers will collect health …

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 who will have serious heart problems later, like a heart attack or stroke. Participants are f…

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 technique analyzed by AI and compared to expert human ratings. The goal is…

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 people recover after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 150 adults aged 30-50 will be tested on the third and fifth day after surgery. The goa…
