This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a procedure called the Adipose Graft Transposition Procedure (AGTP), which uses your own fat tissue to cover areas of your heart that were damaged by a heart attack. Early studies in animals showed that this procedure can reduce the size of the scar and help the heart work better. This study will see if it's effective and safe in people.
When someone has a heart attack, it leaves a scar on the heart that can make it harder for the heart to pump blood. Some areas of scar tissue cannot be fixed with standard treatments like bypass surgery. This trial is testing whether the new treatment can help repair these unrepairable areas and improve how well the heart works.
If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to either receive the adipose graft procedure along with standard bypass surgery, or to receive bypass surgery alone (the standard treatment). Both groups will have their heart function monitored after the procedure to see how well they recover. The trial will compare how much the heart function improves in each group.
