Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A cardiac surgeon will perform 'on-pump' coronary artery bypass surgery for all patients, this procedure takes approximately 3-4.5 hours, . Patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass surgery are suitable. All patients included in the study (both intervention and control) will receive a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) graft. The intervention group will receive conduit inflow from the right internal mammary artery (RIMA) as an extension/composite graft to supply the largest "non-LAD" coronary territory. The procedure for patients in the intervention arm is expected to take approximately 15 minutes longer to permit harvesting a short segment of the right internal mammary artery (RIMA).

Adherence to protocol intervention will be determined through contemporaneous data entry by the treating team with control-checking by independent researcher audit of surgeons operative notes.

Intervention code [1] 319715 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
Patients undergoing isolated 'on-pump' CABG will receive a conventional configuration of coronary artery bypass grafts with a LIMA-to-LAD and standard aorto-coronary anastomosis ('aortic top-end') as conduit inflow for the remaining grafts. The duration of coronary artery bypass surgery is 3-4.5 hours dependant on the number of grafts.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 326510 0
Composite outcome of graft occlusion and freedom from cardiovascular death with IMA or aortic inflow.

Outcomes are to be assessed with telephone follow-up, medical record review and outcomes of pre-planned interval CT coronary angiography
Timepoint [1] 326510 0
Patients will be followed up at 1 year, 5 years and 10 years with a telephone call and CT coronary angiography to be performed at these time points.
Secondary outcome [1] 391728 0
Freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events
Timepoint [1] 391728 0
Patients will be followed up at 1 year, 5 years and 10 years with a telephone call and review of appropriate medical records.
