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 wrapping a protective mesh called VEST around vein grafts used in heart bypass surgery helps keep those grafts working longer and healthier. Doctors will compare veins wrapped with this mesh support to standard unwrapped veins, following patients over time to see how often they need additional heart procedures.
Vein grafts used in heart bypass surgery can narrow or become blocked over time, requiring patients to have repeat procedures. This study is testing whether a protective mesh wrap can help prevent these problems and keep bypass grafts open longer.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you will be randomly assigned to receive either a vein graft wrapped with the protective mesh or a standard unwrapped vein graft during your heart bypass surgery. After surgery, you will be monitored with clinical visits and heart imaging tests at scheduled intervals to track how well your graft is working and whether you need any additional heart procedures over the medium term.
