ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special measurement called iFR (which checks blood flow in the heart) can help improve the success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The goal is to see if using iFR measurements before surgery leads to better results for patients' bypass grafts one year after the operation, compared to the standard method of assessing blockages through an angiogram (a type of imaging test).

To take part in this study, participants need to be between 25 and 80 years old, be undergoing their first elective CABG surgery, and be able to understand and sign the consent form. The trial is currently recruiting a small group of patients, between 28 and 100, and is focused on gathering data from a single center. If you join, you’ll have your heart examined using iFR before your surgery, and the researchers will track your progress for one year afterward to see how well your bypass grafts are functioning. This study could provide valuable insights into improving heart surgery outcomes for future patients.
