Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography of the Saphenous Vein Conduit in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
OCTOCAB is a prospective, randomized (1:1), single-center trial. The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided saphenous vein grafting in coronary artery bypass surgery will reduce the rate of early vein graft failure (VGF).
• Subject must be at least 18 years of age.
• Subject must have evidence of myocardial ischemia (e.g., stable angina, silent ischemia (ischemia in the absence of chest pain or other anginal equivalents), unstable angina, or acute myocardial infarction) suitable for elective CABG.
• Subject must have undergone coronary angiography identifying at least one lesion that is clinically appropriate and suitable for saphenous vein bypass grafting.
• Subject must provide written Informed Consent prior to any study related procedure.
