Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to find out if hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure outcomes are similar. HCR is a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries. CABG is a surgical procedure to open up clogged heart arteries.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Currently, it is not clear how the outcomes of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) compare with other treatments. The purpose of the study is to find out if HCR and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure outcomes are similar. HCR is a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries. CABG is a surgical procedure to open up clogged heart arteries.

This study will collect information about the medical care participants receive during their planned procedure. No new testing or procedures will be done. Participants will have only the tests or procedures already planned by their doctor. The investigators will look at how well participants do after the procedure by assessing the outcomes of interest 30 days after surgery and, potentially, one year after surgery (funding dependent).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hybrid Coronary Revascularization (HCR)

Patients who are scheduled to have the hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) procedure for treatment of multi-vessel coronary artery disease. The treatment plan is determined by the patient's doctor.

Hybrid Coronary Revascularization (HCR)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) is a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries. HCR is the intentional combination of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The HCR strategy combines grafting of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) coronary artery using the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) with PCI of non-LAD coronary stenoses. Drug-eluting stents are substituted for saphenous vein grafts (SVG) for non-LAD coronary targets, and the surgical LIMA to LAD bypass is performed, ideally through a minimally invasive, limited access, sternal-sparing approach.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Patients who are scheduled to have the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure for treatment of multi-vessel coronary artery disease. The treatment plan is determined by the patient's doctor.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgery to create a new path for blood flow to the heart. A healthy section of vein or artery from elsewhere in the patient's body will be attached to the coronary artery just above and below the area of concern, to create a way for blood to bypass the blocked part of the coronary artery.
