Trial summary

Once the pericardium is closed, there is no information on the hemodynamics of the grafts after coronary artery bypass grafting. This would be the reason for different opinions on pericardial closure: some teams do not close the pericardium and others close it. Read more about this study

About this study

Once the pericardium is closed, there is no information on the hemodynamics of the grafts after coronary artery bypass grafting. This would be the reason for different opinions on pericardial closure: some teams do not close the pericardium and others close it.

In the department Cardiovascular Surgery of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne, the Medistim machine is used in routine and the hemodynamic properties of the grafts are recorded immediately after the bypass surgery, before the closure of the pericardium.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to have hemodynamic information immediately after the closure of the pericardium using the Medistim machine. The prospective study will be conducted on 50 patients, who will be selected consecutively without randomization. The inclusion and exclusion criteria are determined.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bypass Graft Stenosis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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 26 Dec 2023. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Flow through the grafts (time frame: Minute : 1, 15). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Dec 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
