Photobiomodulation in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With No-Touch vs Conventional Saphenous Vein Harvesting. (PHOTON)

8 lipca 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Solange Guizilini, Federal University of São Paulo

Impact of Photobiomodulation in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Comparison Between No-Touch and Conventional Saphenous Vein Harvesting Techniques on Clinical Outcomes, Functional Capacity, and Wound Healing: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This randomized, double-blind clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of photobiomodulation therapy on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The study will compare two techniques for saphenous vein graft harvesting: the conventional technique and the no-touch technique. Participants will be randomly allocated into four groups: conventional harvesting with placebo, conventional harvesting with photobiomodulation, no-touch harvesting with placebo, and no-touch harvesting with photobiomodulation. The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation on wound healing and postoperative complications related to the saphenous vein harvesting site. Secondary outcomes include clinical outcomes and functional capacity after surgery. The results may contribute to improving postoperative recovery and optimizing surgical strategies in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization.

Przegląd badań

Szczegółowy opis

Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a widely performed surgical procedure for the treatment of advanced coronary artery disease. The saphenous vein is frequently used as a graft in CABG; however, complications related to vein harvesting, including wound infection, delayed healing, and postoperative pain, remain relevant clinical concerns.

The no-touch technique for saphenous vein harvesting has been proposed as a strategy to preserve the structural integrity of the vein and potentially improve graft patency and reduce local tissue trauma. In addition, photobiomodulation therapy (low-level laser therapy) has demonstrated beneficial effects on tissue repair, inflammation modulation, and wound healing.

This study, named PHOTON Study, is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy in patients undergoing CABG. Participants will be randomized into four groups according to the harvesting technique and the use of photobiomodulation therapy. This study protocol was developed in accordance with the SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) guidelines.

Photobiomodulation will be applied using a cluster laser device (E-light, DMC Equipamentos Ltda., Brazil) with a wavelength of 660 nm and output power of 100 mW. The laser will be applied locally along the surgical incision of the saphenous vein harvesting site using a point technique with standardized spacing between application points. The intervention will be performed intraoperatively and during the early postoperative period.

The primary outcomes include wound healing and postoperative complications related to the saphenous vein harvesting site. Secondary outcomes include clinical outcomes and functional capacity following surgery.

This trial may contribute to improving postoperative care and recovery in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Interwencja / Leczenie
Komparator placebo: Conventional Harvesting + Placebo
Patients undergoing conventional saphenous vein harvesting with simulated laser application (placebo).
Simulated photobiomodulation therapy applied using the same laser device without emission of therapeutic laser energy. This placebo procedure is used to maintain blinding of participants and outcome assessors.
Conventional Saphenous Vein Harvesting refers to the traditional open surgical technique used to obtain the great saphenous vein for grafting procedures, most commonly in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The procedure involves a continuous longitudinal incision along the course of the vein in the lower limb, allowing direct visualization and careful dissection of the vessel from surrounding tissues. Side branches are ligated or clipped, and the harvested vein is subsequently prepared for use as a vascular graft. The technique is performed under sterile surgical conditions by qualified surgeons.
Eksperymentalny: Conventional Harvesting + Photobiomodulation
Patients undergoing conventional saphenous vein harvesting with active photobiomodulation therapy applied to the surgical incision.

Simulated photobiomodulation therapy applied using the same laser device without emission of therapeutic laser energy. This placebo procedure is used to maintain blinding of participants and outcome assessors.
No-Touch Saphenous Vein Harvesting refers to a surgical technique for harvesting the great saphenous vein in which the vein is removed together with a pedicle of surrounding perivascular tissue, avoiding direct manual manipulation and excessive distension of the vessel. The procedure is performed through an open incision under sterile conditions, preserving the vein's adventitia, vasa vasorum, and surrounding connective tissue in order to minimize endothelial injury and maintain vascular integrity. Side branches are carefully ligated or clipped, and the harvested graft is prepared according to institutional surgical protocols for subsequent use in vascular or coronary artery bypass procedures.
