Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is evidence that inflammatory processes may play a key role during surgical myocardial reperfusion. The hypothesis of this study is that colchicine, an anti-inflammatory agent, may lead to reduction in periprocedural infarct size, when administered during elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
