Stroke Clinical Trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if using a non-invasive heart scan (called coronary computed tomography angiography, or CCTA) to plan coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) works as well as the standard invasive approach (called coronary angiography, or CAG) for people with blocked heart arteries. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do people who have surgery planned with the non-invasive heart scan have similar health outcomes at 1 year as those who have surgery planned with the standard invasive approach? How does the non-invasive approach compare in terms of heart attacks, strokes, unplanned repeat procedures, and longer hospital stays? Researchers will compare two groups of participants. One group will have their surgery planned using only the CCTA . The other group will have their surgery planned using only the CAG. Both groups will undergo the CABG per local protocol. Participants will: Be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to one of the two planning approaches Undergo CABG as scheduled Return for follow-up visits at sugery days, 7 days, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery Have a follow-up CCTA scan at 7 days and 1 year to check if the new bypass grafts are working well
