Brief Summary

Heart bypass surgery is used to increase blood flow to the heart. This surgery is usually done using a heart-lung machine (on-pump surgery) allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure on a still heart. However, this heart-lung machine causes an inflammatory response and is linked with complications such as heart injury, stroke, brain injury, kidney failure, need for blood transfusions, irregular heart rhythms and death. An effective way of counteracting the effects of the heart-lung machine is to not use the pump itself, thus performing the bypass surgery with a beating heart (off-pump surgery). However, off-pump surgery is technically more difficult, possibly associated with a decrease in graft patency. The ongoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Off or On Pump Revascularization Study (CORONARY), is a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing bypass surgery done with and without the pump. Worldwide, 4700 patients will be included and followed up for 5 years. The proposed research project, The Patency AssessmenT of grafts pErformed iN CORONARY (PATENCY-CORONARY), is a prospective clinical trial for the evaluation of patency (or "openness") of the bypass grafts that will enrol 1200 consecutive CORONARY patients reaching their one year follow-up. Patients will undergo a non-invasive scan using X-rays to safely and quickly evaluate graft patency. The PATENCY-CORONARY trial will determine if off-pump surgery is associated with decreased graft patency at 1-year post-surgery compared to on-pump surgery when performed by skilled surgeons in different clinical settings, whether decreased graft patency is associated with adverse short and long-term outcomes, and explore other risk factors associated with decreased graft patency.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • All CORONARY (NCT00463294) patients reaching their one-year follow-up (9-24 months) will be included consecutively in the PATENCY-CORONARY trial.

You may not qualify if:

  • Has a history of severe hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast agents;
  • Has known or suspected for pheochromocytoma;
  • Has severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR \<35 mL/min/1.73 m2). Patients with eGFR 35-50 mL/min/1.73 m2 will be treated with hydratation and N-acetylcysteine (Mucomyst®) as per local protocol for contrast administration;
  • Has rapid atrial fibrillation or any other cardiac rhythm that precludes reliable ECG triggering;
  • Has severe congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV;
  • Is a pregnant or lactating female.
