All recruiting trials (15)
-
Nonintubated anesthesia for adults undergoing cardiac surgery with bypass
This trial tests a nonintubated airway approach with the goal of seeing if avoiding endotracheal intubation during elective valve or bypass surgery can reduce lung problems and help patients recover faster.
-
Early breathing therapy just one hour after CABG extubation
This trial tests whether starting respiratory physiotherapy one hour after extubation improves recovery for adults after elective CABG compared with starting on the first postoperative day.
-
Structured inpatient physiotherapy before and after CABG for high-risk patients
This trial tests whether starting a structured inpatient physiotherapy program at least two days before CABG and continuing after surgery helps high-risk patients recover faster than the same program used only after surgery.
-
Del Nido vs Blood Cardioplegia for Heart Muscle Health During CABG
This study tests whether Del Nido cardioplegia helps preserve heart muscle better than standard blood cardioplegia in people undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
-
Low-dose IL-2 after heart attack to study tissue-resident regulatory T cells
Researchers are testing whether low-dose interleukin-2 given after a myocardial infarction can boost tissue-resident regulatory T cells to support heart repair.
-
Using blood flow measurements during bypass surgery to predict graft openness and recovery
This trial will test whether using a device that measures blood flow during coronary bypass surgery helps surgeons ensure grafts stay open and improves recovery for adults having their first non-emergency multivessel CABG.
-
Predicting major heart problems after coronary artery bypass grafting in people with heart failure
This study will test whether a blood marker called GDF-15 taken before bypass surgery can help predict major heart events over the year after CABG in patients with chronic heart failure and coronary artery disease.
-
Pain relief after CABG: tafalgin versus morphine
This will test whether tafalgin relieves pain after coronary artery bypass surgery as well as morphine in adult patients.
-
Virtual reality–enhanced multimodal rehabilitation to improve heart and lung fitness after CABG
This trial tests whether adding virtual-reality nature scenes to a multimodal exercise program helps people recovering from CABG improve breathlessness, cardiorespiratory fitness, and quality of life.
-
Bypass surgery versus stents for people with weak heart pumping and blockages in multiple coronary arteries
This trial tests whether bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI) lead to better survival, fewer major heart problems, and improved quality of life for adults with reduced left ventricular function (LVEF ≤40%) and multivessel coronary disease.
-
Cardiac rehabilitation cohort at Medicine Campus Davos to explore recovery
This project will follow adults coming to Hochgebirgsklinik Davos for cardiac rehabilitation to see how their heart health and recovery progress over time.
-
Virtual reality or eye mask during dressing after coronary artery bypass
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset or an eye mask during dressing after coronary artery bypass surgery can reduce pain, anxiety, and stress-related vital sign changes in adults recovering from CABG.
-
Alpha-ketoglutarate to improve recovery after coronary artery bypass
This trial will try giving alpha-ketoglutarate around the time of elective CABG to see if it reduces an exaggerated immune response and helps people aged 50 and older recover faster.
-
AI analysis of surgeons' techniques during coronary artery bypass grafting
We will see if an AI program can score surgeons' stitching technique during left anterior descending artery bypass in adults having their first isolated CABG.
-
Preventing swelling after heart surgery with special bandages
This study is testing if special bandages can help prevent swelling and complications after heart surgery for people undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).

How many CABG clinical trials are recruiting right now?
15, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 11 countries. The most sites are in Turkey (Türkiye) (2 trials), Croatia (2 trials), Russia (2 trials), China (2 trials), Netherlands (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 4: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
