Meshed Vein Graft Patency Trial - VEST

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Device: External Mesh for vein grafts
Registration Number
NCT01860274
Lead Sponsor
Cardiochirurgia E.H.
Brief Summary

The study hypothesis is that a meshed conduit made of safen vein allows a better patency at mid-long term than a safen vein alone.

To test this hypothesis the investigators plan a prospective, randomized study, comparing grafts to the diagonal, in cases of vessel diameter under 1.5mm. A control angiography will be performed one year after the operation.
