What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of minimally invasive bypass surgery (through small chest incisions) and stents can match or beat standard open-heart bypass for people with blockages in all three main heart arteries. The trial will enroll 250 adults and measure complications within 30 days, such as death, heart attack, stroke, or infection. If successful, this hybrid approach could mean a faster recovery and less scarring for patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Multivessel hybrid coronary revascularization (minimally invasive bypass surgery plus stents)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a less invasive alternative to open-heart surgery, with faster recovery and fewer short-term complications for people with severe coronary artery disease.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage trial (250 participants) comparing two surgical strategies. The minimally invasive technique may not be suitable for all patients and could have higher rates of conversion to open surgery or incomplete revascularization.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 250 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2026

Expected to finish

May 2034

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with three-vessel disease (either angiographic stenoses \>70% or a fractional flow reserve value ≤0.80) * Left main diameter stenosis ≥50% or a left main intravascular ultrasound minimal luminal area of ≤4.5 mm2 or fractional flow reserve value ≤0.80 combined with significant CAD of the right coronary artery Exclusion Criteria: A potential participant who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: * Age \< 18 or \> 85 years * Chronic total occlusion of the RCA * In-stent RCA restenosis * RCA stenosis with high-risk clinical features requiring urgent PCI or surgical revasculari-zation. * Reverse hybrid coronary revascularization, defined as PCI-RCA followed by surgical re-vascularization. * Acute cardiac ischemia necessitating immediate intervention. * EF \< 30 % * eGFR \< 30 ml/min * Indication for concomitant cardiac surgery (e.g. valve or arrhythmia surgery) or non-cardiac surgery * Previous thoracic or cardiac surgery, mediastinal irradiation, significant trauma to the chest * Preoperative severe end-organ dysfunction (dialysis, liver failure, respiratory failure) or cancer. * Hemodynamically significant left subclavian stenosis * Severe chest wall deformities * History of pericarditis * Body mass index \> 40 Kg/m2.
