Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →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 whether a newer imaging method called CT-FFR (computed tomography fractional flow reserve) can help doctors plan bypass surgery better than the standard imaging method. The study will compare how well bypass grafts work one year after surgery when they are planned using either the traditional approach or the newer CT-FFR method.
Currently, doctors use a standard imaging technique to decide which coronary arteries need bypass surgery. This trial is exploring whether the newer CT imaging method might help doctors make better decisions about which arteries to bypass, potentially leading to better outcomes for patients.
If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to have your bypass surgery planned using either the standard imaging method or the newer CT-FFR imaging method. After your surgery, you will have imaging tests to check how well your grafts are working at an early time point and again at one year. The study team will also track your overall health and any heart-related events over the first year after surgery.
