Radial Artery Versus Saphenous Vein Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery - Full Text View

Purpose

VA patients with coronary artery disease and who have agreed to undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery would be randomized to receive either radial artery or saphenous vein to the study vessel. The primary outcome variable is graft patency at one year.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary objective is to determine if there is a difference in graft patency between radial artery grafts and saphenous vein grafts. The specific plan is to compare late graft patency rates in patients undergoing coronary revascularization by sapheno [ Time Frame: The primary outcome measure will be percent of occluded grafts at one year postoperatively. The outcome measure will be determined from graft visualization at one year from CABG using the same views ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment:	751
Study Start Date:	February 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date:	March 2013
Primary Completion Date:	February 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Arm 1 Saphenous Vein Graft	Procedure: saphenous vein graft Saphenous vein harvested from the arm is used as a conduit for CABG.
Active Comparator: Arm 2 Radial Artery	Procedure: radial artery graft Radial artery harvested from the arm is used as a conduit for CABG.

Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients needing coronary artery bypass grafts.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who require only a single vessel bypass and in whom the internal mammary artery will be used for that graft
Patients with previous stripping and ligation of saphenous veins and in whom no venous conduit is available for bypass
Patients with Raynaud's symptoms
Patients who have a creatinine above 2.0 mg/dL or require hemodialysis
Patients with a positive Allen test
Patients with cardiogenic shock
Patients who are unable to give consent
Patients allergic to contrast material
Patients undergoing repeat CABG or any form of robotic surgery
Patients who do not have full use of both arms
Patients who are pregnant
Patients with neurologic or musculoskeletal disease affecting the arm
Patients who refuse to participate
Patient requires any concomitant valve operation in the mitral, aortic, or pulmonary position. Isolated tricuspid annuloplasty is acceptable, but tricuspid valve replacement excludes the patient from consideration.
Patient requires concomitant Dor or Maze procedure
Patient is in another research study
No suitable radial target (there is no non-LAD vessel with a >70% stenosis)
