About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparison of the SAphenous VEin Versus Right Internal Thoracic Artery as a Y-Composite Graft (SAVE-RITA Trial)

The purpose of this study is to compare early and 1-year graft patency rates of saphenous vein composite grafts with those of right internal thoracic artery composite graft and mid-term clinical outcomes in patients who undergo off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCAB). We also evaluate microscopic findings of saphenous vein graft harvested no touch technique and used as composite graft.

Read the detailed description

The SAVERITA trial was designed as a randomized, controlled trial to recruit 224 patients who undergo off-pump coronary artery bypass using Y-composite graft based on the left internal thoracic artery. Patients were randomized by use of a randomization table. Composite conduit was made using saphenous vein or right internal thoracic artery according to the randomization result. The primary end point is to evaluate early and 1-year postoperative graft patency. The secondary end points are overall survival, freedom from cardiac death and freedom from MACCE(major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events). In saphenous vein group, 20 remnant saphenous vein specimen was evaluated histologically to compare the difference between composite grafted vein and manually dilated saphenous vein.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • saphenous vein composite graftingProcedure or surgery

    Also called SAVERITA SVG

    use saphenous vein as a composite graft connected to the left internal thoracic artery

  • right internal thoracic artery composite graftingProcedure or surgery

    Also called SAVERITA RITA

    right internal thoracic artery is used as a composite graft connected to the left internal thoracic artery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 1 Year Graft Patency Rates

    1 year graft patency of second limb conduits measured by 1 year coronary angiography

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival rate at 4 years

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Freedom From Cardiac Death

    Freedom rate from cardiac death at 4 years

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Freedom From MACCE(Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events)

    freedom from MACCE(major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events)at 4 years

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Early Angiographic Patency Rates

    The patency rate of the SV side-arm composite graft evaluated with coronary angiograms early after CABG

    Measured: 1.4days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing saphenous vein composite grafting and right internal thoracic artery composite grafting in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1 Year Graft Patency Rates (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01051986, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jan 2014.
