This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study tests a new approach to heart repair during bypass surgery. Instead of just fixing blocked arteries, surgeons will also transplant small grafts made from your own heart tissue onto the scarred area of your heart. These grafts are designed to help your heart heal better and regain strength after a heart attack.
After a heart attack, the damaged area typically turns into scar tissue, which makes the heart weaker and can lead to heart failure. This treatment aims to help your heart heal and regenerate rather than just scar over, potentially offering a better long-term outcome.

You will undergo the planned bypass surgery, and during that surgery, surgeons will remove a small piece of tissue from your heart and process it into tiny grafts. Half of participants will receive these grafts transplanted onto the scarred area of the heart, while the other half will receive a collagen patch without the grafts (control group). After surgery, you will have follow-up visits and heart imaging tests to monitor your heart's recovery and function over time.
