Recovery and activity study after open-heart surgery
This study tests a new recovery plan called T-REX to see if it helps patients feel better and get back to moving sooner after open-heart surgery. It is for people having surgery at Thorax Centrum Twente.

CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07401836Recruiting
Sleep bundle for heart surgery patients
This trial tests a special sleep program (bundle) to help patients sleep better after heart surgery. Researchers want to see if it improves recovery and well-being.
Saint John, New BrunswickAges 19 years+ - NCT07267013RecruitingPhase 2
Testing clindamycin instead of vancomycin in aortic heart surgery
This study tests if clindamycin, a common antibiotic, works as well as vancomycin to prevent infections during heart surgery on the aorta (the main artery from the heart). Patients must be having planned morning surgery with the heart-lung machine and understand French.
Nantes, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07708740Recruiting
Two doses of ketamine for preventing slow heart rate during eye surgery
This study tests whether two doses of ketamine (a medicine given through a vein) can reduce a reflex that slows the heart during eye surgery. If you are having eye surgery that involves moving the eye muscles, you may be eligible.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07736092Recruiting
Light Therapy Before and After Surgery for Older Adults
This trial tests a gentle light treatment to help prevent thinking problems after surgery in older patients. It involves using a special light on your head before and after your operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT07278661RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery romiplostim for patients with low platelets having heart surgery
This trial tests if giving romiplostim before heart surgery can safely increase low platelet counts. It may help patients with low platelets avoid bleeding complications during and after surgery.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06054360Recruiting
Predicting irregular heartbeat after heart bypass surgery
This study uses an ultrasound test of the heart's right atrium to see if it can predict who will develop an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after planned coronary bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery and have no history of atrial fibrillation, you may be able to join.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06946290Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief after heart surgery
This study tests a nerve block, called an intertransverse process block, to see if it helps people feel better and recover faster after heart surgery. The block is given during surgery to reduce pain.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06425614Recruiting
Blood Cell Recycling During Heart Surgery Trial
This trial tests whether giving back a patient's own platelets and red blood cells during heart surgery can reduce bleeding and the need for donor blood transfusions. It is for people having certain types of high-risk heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
Bordeaux, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06487585RecruitingPhase 4
Angiotensin II as first pressor after heart surgery
This trial tests if starting Angiotensin II early, instead of other blood pressure medications, can help heart surgery patients maintain safe blood pressure. It may be an option if you have low blood pressure after surgery despite receiving fluids.
Towson, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07683299Recruiting
New heart monitoring during bypass surgery
This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07593794Recruiting
Quality of Recovery After Heart Surgery Study
This study measures how well patients recover after planned heart surgery by having them answer questions about their physical and emotional wellbeing. The goal is to understand what affects recovery so doctors can better support patients afterward.
KocaeliAges 18 years+ - NCT07094087RecruitingPhase 3
Blood clotting medicine for heart surgery bleeding
This trial tests a medicine called 4F-PCC to stop bleeding during complex heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It could help people who have bleeding problems after the surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05833048Recruiting
Pain-relief nerve block during cardiac surgery
This study tests whether a numbing “nerve block” placed in the rectus sheath area can reduce pain for people having certain heart surgeries with chest tubes. If you qualify, it may help your comfort during recovery, but it also depends on how suitable you are for local anesthesia.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT05886725Recruiting
At-home walking test to help recovery after major surgery
This study looks at how a simple at-home walking pattern test, done before and after major surgery, relates to how older adults recover. It may help doctors better understand recovery and possibly tailor support after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 60 years+ - NCT06205875Recruiting
High vs. low dose pain block after minimally invasive heart valve surgery
This trial compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected into the chest wall to control pain after heart valve surgery. If you qualify, you will receive either a higher or lower dose of the pain block to see which provides better pain relief and recovery.
