Sponsor

Medical University Innsbruck

Enrollment

120 participants

Start Date

Oct 3, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD)

Summary

The aim of this trial is to apply shockwaves to the leg wound after saphenous vein harvesting and closure in order to reduce the occurrence of postoperative wound healing complications following coronary artery bypass grafting using venous grafts.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Interventions

DEVICEShockwave treatment

The shockwave device will be set to an energy flux density of 0.1 mJ/mm² at 5 Hz, with approximately 25 impulses per centimeter of wound length. This means that one centimeter of the wound will be treated for 5 seconds. The shockwave treatment will then be carried out, with each centimeter of the wound area treated for 5 seconds using gentle circular motions.

DEVICESham treatment

The applicator will not be connected to the shockwave device. The applicator treatment will then be carried out, with each centimeter of the wound area treated for 5 seconds using gentle circular motions.
