About this trial

A clinical research project will be carried out that will consist of a non-inferiority study. The objective is to compare the morbidity of two different surgical techniques for the extraction of the internal saphenous vein, intended to be used as a conduit in coronary bypass.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients undergoing coordination coronary revascularization surgery, in which it is necessary to use the internal saphenous vein as a conduit.

Disqualifiers

Emergency surgeries.

Poor metabolic control (HbA1c > 6.5%).

Chronic venous insufficiency or chronic obstructive arteriopathy of the lower limbs.

Type II obesity (BMI>35).

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Conventional Saphenous vein harvest

    Procedure/Surgery

    The conventional one involves harvesting only the vein, without perivascular tissue or the nerve.

  • No touch Saphenous vein harvest

    Procedure/Surgery

    During the extraction of the saphenous vein using the "no touch" technique, it is sectioned with the perivascular adipose tissue and the saphenous nerve of the leg.

Treatment groups

52 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: ConventionalExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: No TouchExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Demonstrate the non-inferiority of the "no touch" technique over the conventional technique in terms of wound morbidity.

Our primary objective will be to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the "no touch" technique over the conventional technique in terms of wound morbidity in patients undergoing coronary revascularization, within a non-inferiority margin. Defining morbidity as the combined result of local infection, hematoma, blisters, secretions, necrosis, wound dehiscence, paresthesias, pain and functional impotence.

Time frame
1 week, 1 month, 6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of local infection, hematoma, flictena, secretions, necrosis, wound dehiscence, paresthesia, pain, functional impotence and then compare them between both groups at different times.

Find the incidence of each of the study factors: local infection, hematoma, flictena, secretions, necrosis, wound dehiscence, paresthesia, pain, functional impotence and then compare them between both groups at different times.

Time frame
1 week, 1 month, 6 months

Other outcomes

1

Saphenous vein bypass patency

Patients will be offered computed tomography angiography one year after surgery to evaluate graft patency.

Time frame
1 year
