Study of Feasibility for Surgical Patients Undergoing Heart Surgery With the Mammary Arteries: Reviewing Infection, Occlusion Rates and Pain Assessments.

Sponsor: Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation

Summary

The Pilot study for the COMFORT Trial is a single centre trial to determine the feasibility of the full COMFORT Trial. The main COMFORT Trial will be a multi-centre trial to investigate the coronary artery bypass grafting outcomes when harvesting the Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) using a skeletonized approach (artery is isolated without the surrounding veins, fascia and nerves) compared to harvesting the LIMA using a non-skeletonized approach (artery is isolated with the surrounding veins, fascia and nerves). Harvesting the LIMA with the non-skeletonized approach is the standard technique. Participants will complete a Coronary Artery Tomography scan at 1 year to determine if the LIMA graft remains open. Follow up of the participants will continue until 2 years post surgery.
