The Impact of Pericardial Closure on the Grafts, in the Context of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Bypass Graft Stenosis Clinical Trial

Official title: The Impact of Pericardial Closure on the Grafts, in the Context of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Once the pericardium is closed, there is no information on the hemodynamics of the grafts after coronary artery bypass grafting. This would be the reason for different opinions on pericardial closure: some teams do not close the pericardium and others close it.

In the department Cardiovascular Surgery of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne, the Medistim machine is used in routine and the hemodynamic properties of the grafts are recorded immediately after the bypass surgery, before the closure of the pericardium.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the study is to have hemodynamic information immediately after the closure of the pericardium using the Medistim machine. The prospective study will be conducted on 50 patients, who will be selected consecutively without randomization. The inclusion and exclusion criteria are determined. ;
