Trial summary

The ideal grafts for the right coronary artery system in coronary artery bypass surgery remain controversial. The objective of this study is to compare the long-term patency of a right gastroepiploic artery and a saphenous vein graft used for revascularization of the right coronary artery system in off pump coronary… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Graft Patency of the Right Coronary Artery System in OPCAB: Saphenous Vein Graft Versus Right Gastroepiploic Artery

The ideal grafts for the right coronary artery system in coronary artery bypass surgery remain controversial. The objective of this study is to compare the long-term patency of a right gastroepiploic artery and a saphenous vein graft used for revascularization of the right coronary artery system in off pump coronary artery bypass surgery and to analyze the long-term clinical outcomes.

Total 224 patients will be enrolled according to the randomization protocol.

Check list

  1. Laboratories
  2. Quantitative coronary analysis (preoperative)
  3. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event
  4. coronary CT (coronary angiography if needed) at discharge, 1, 5, 10 years postoperatively
  5. Echocardiogram
  6. Cardiac enzyme
Read the detailed description

The ideal bypass conduit for the right coronary artery remains a subject of intense controversy. A variety of grafts and configurations are used: the right gastroepiploic artery,the right internal thoracic artery in situ or in a Y-graft configuration,the free radial artery implanted into the aorta or the left internal thoracic artery, and the saphenous vein graft. The influence of the type of graft to the right coronary artery system on clinical results remains poorly documented, and the complementary conduit of choice to this system has yet to be determined. No superior long-term patency rate for any of these grafts to the RCA has been clearly established. We have used a saphenous vein and a right gastroepiploic artery for the right coronary artery system.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor recruiting rate). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

All cause mortality (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Apr 2019.
