Eligibility:

All Genders

55+ years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown high long-term patency for no-touch saphenous vein grafts (NTSVGs), comparable to the internal thoracic artery in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients were eligible if they:
  • provided written informed consent;
  • were \>21 years of age;
  • required isolated CABG with median sternotomy;
  • had at least one of the following risk factors:
  • had peripheral vascular disease (previous peripheral bypass, amputation or anklebranchial index \<0.90),
  • had cerebrovascular disease (history of stroke, transient ischemic attach or carotid stenosis ≥70%),
  • had renal insufficiency (creatinine above upper limit of normal),
  • were ≥70 years of age, or
  • were between the ages of 60-69 with one of the following: i. had diabetes and taking an oral hypoglycemic agent and/or insulin, ii. required urgent revascularization (i.e., waiting in hospital for revascularization after an acute coronary syndrome), iii. were a recent smoker (within 1 year of randomization), or iv. had left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, OR
  • were between the ages of 55-59 with two of the following: i. Diabetes and taking an oral hypoglycemic agent and/or insulin, ii. required urgent revascularization (i.e., waiting in hospital for revascularization after an acute coronary syndrome, iii. were a recent smoker (within 1 year of randomization), or iv. had a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%

Exclusion

  • Patients were excluded if they:
  • required a concomitant cardiac procedure associated with CABG;
  • had a contraindication to off-pump or on-pump CABG (e.g., calcified aorta, intramuscular left anterior descending artery, calcified coronaries, small target vessels);
  • had a concomitant life-threatening disease likely to limit life expectancy to less than 2 years;
  • were previously enrollment in the CORONARY Trial;
  • required emergency CABG surgery (i.e., immediate revascularization for hemodynamic instability); OR
  • required a redo CABG.
