Comparison of RIMA-SVG and Ao-SVG Techniques in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

This randomized, double-blind, single-center clinical trial was divided into two groups, RIMA-SVG and Ao-SVG, according to the surgical method. The purpose was to evaluate the effect of the RIMA-SVG surgical method in improving saphenous vein graft (SVG) patency and reducing clinical complications. A total of 300 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to two surgical method groups: RIMA-SVG Group (150 patients): SVGs are connected to the right internal mammary artery (RIMA). Ao-SVG Group (150 patients): The aorta is clamped, and SVGs are connected to the ascending aorta (Ao).All patients will undergo CABG on a beating heart with sequential vein grafts to bypass at least two or more coronary vessels. The primary outcome is 1-year graft patency. The secondary outcomes include neurological complications, mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and surgical site infection event.
