Coronary Bypass Stenosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Endoscopic Harvesting of the Radial Artery and Saphenous Vein Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
This is a retrospective data collection looking at patients who received either an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure versus the conventional open procedure. Besides looking at cost variables in the 2 groups, other outcomes of interest include length of hospital stay, rates of infection, medication use, re-admissions and compilations.
Since April 2018, the study database has been updated with all patients (currently there are
340 patients per group) and variables - both reflecting effectiveness of the procedure and
cost. Preoperative variables being captured include comorbidity factors and variables
relating to the Society of Thoracic Surgery (STS) score , which is a pre-procedure assessment
of surgical risk.
The postoperative data collection includes a variety of complications and comorbidities the
patient could experience during their hospital stay. These variables will provide us with
information regarding procedure effectiveness, patient recovery and further costs associated
with the procedure. Medications and antibiotics provided during the stay are also being
captured. Total hospital costs will include any costs associated with ward stay, separated
per level of care: Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Cardiac Surgical Unit (CSU), and regular ward.
The two follow up periods are 30 days and 6 months. Both look at the same effectiveness
variables, any emergency room (ER) visits, re-admissions, and their respective reasons.
Quality of life will be obtained by looking at the number of complications the patient
experienced during these periods. The frequency of home care services provided to each
patient, if any, are also being tracked. Cost calculations will be done by obtaining the
time, length and number of visits to the ER, re-admissions and clinic visits.
