Five-year Patency of No-touch Saphenous Vein Grafts in On-pump Versus Clamp-less Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

February 25, 2018 updated by: Ninos Samano M.D., Örebro County Council

Five-year Patency of No-touch Saphenous Vein Grafts in On-pump Versus Clamp-less Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Sub-study of a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown high long-term patency for no-touch saphenous vein grafts (NTSVGs), comparable to the internal thoracic artery in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). RCTs on patency in NTSVGs in off-pump CABG have not been published yet. Orebro University Hospital participated in the CABG Off- or On-pump Revascularization study (CORONARY, ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00463294) and included fifty-six patients. Accordingly, this is a sub-study and the aim was to assess the midterm patency in NTSVGs in clamp-less off-pump versus on-pump CABG at five-year follow-up.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients were eligible if they:

    1. provided written informed consent;
    2. were >21 years of age;
    3. required isolated CABG with median sternotomy;

    4. had at least one of the following risk factors:

      1. had peripheral vascular disease (previous peripheral bypass, amputation or anklebranchial index <0.90),
      2. had cerebrovascular disease (history of stroke, transient ischemic attach or carotid stenosis ≥70%),
      3. had renal insufficiency (creatinine above upper limit of normal),
      4. were ≥70 years of age, or
      5. were between the ages of 60-69 with one of the following: i. had diabetes and taking an oral hypoglycemic agent and/or insulin, ii. required urgent revascularization (i.e., waiting in hospital for revascularization after an acute coronary syndrome), iii. were a recent smoker (within 1 year of randomization), or iv. had left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, OR
      6. were between the ages of 55-59 with two of the following: i. Diabetes and taking an oral hypoglycemic agent and/or insulin, ii. required urgent revascularization (i.e., waiting in hospital for revascularization after an acute coronary syndrome, iii. were a recent smoker (within 1 year of randomization), or iv. had a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients were excluded if they:

    1. required a concomitant cardiac procedure associated with CABG;
    2. had a contraindication to off-pump or on-pump CABG (e.g., calcified aorta, intramuscular left anterior descending artery, calcified coronaries, small target vessels);
    3. had a concomitant life-threatening disease likely to limit life expectancy to less than 2 years;
    4. were previously enrollment in the CORONARY Trial;
    5. required emergency CABG surgery (i.e., immediate revascularization for hemodynamic instability); OR
    6. required a redo CABG.

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
