Female-focused recovery plan after heart surgery
This study looks at how to improve recovery after heart surgery, especially for women. It reviews medical records from people who had heart surgery in the past or will have it in the next few years at two hospitals in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07851350Recruiting
Preparing for major surgery with a personalized fitness plan
This study offers a program to help you get physically and mentally ready for major surgery. It tests whether a personalized preparation plan improves recovery and reduces complications.
Varese, VAAges 18 years+ - NCT07798011Recruiting
Faster breathing tube removal after pediatric heart surgery
This study compares two ways of helping children wake up and breathe on their own after minimally invasive heart surgery. One group gets a drug to quickly reverse the muscle relaxant, while the other group waits for it to wear off naturally. The goal is to see which method allows a safer, earlier breathing tube removal.
HanoiAges 2–18 - NCT06554925Recruiting
Sex differences in cardiac surgery patients
This study looks at how men and women may differ in their experiences and outcomes after heart surgery. It may help doctors provide better care for all patients.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06673953Recruiting
Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT07634666Recruiting
Heart Safety Monitoring During Urologic Cancer Surgery
This study tracks heart health before and after major surgery for prostate or kidney cancer in older adults. Researchers want to predict which patients might experience heart problems after surgery so they can provide better care.
SeoulAges 60 years+ - NCT04754022Recruiting
Blood use during heart surgery in younger adults
This study looks at how much donated blood (blood products) is needed for younger adults during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors choose safer, more appropriate blood-saving plans for people like you.
Portland, MaineAges 18–65 - NCT05778981Recruiting
Study of blood-vessel health during non-heart surgery
This study looks at how blood-vessel function changes around the time of non-heart surgery, especially in people 45 and older. It may help doctors better understand risks and recovery related to blood-vessel stress during hospitalization.
Independencia, Santiago MetropolitanAges 45 years+ - NCT07549243Recruiting
Ear Nerve Stimulation to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to your ear can help protect your kidneys during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. Kidney damage after this type of surgery is common, and researchers want to see if this non-invasive stimulation can prevent it.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07541222Recruiting
Blood pressure medications and surgery recovery outcomes
This study looks at how blood pressure medications affect low blood pressure episodes that happen during and after heart surgery. Researchers want to understand if the number of blood pressure drugs you take before surgery changes how your body handles blood pressure during the operation.
KonyaAges 40 years+ - NCT07539623RecruitingPhase 3
Pain relief with suzetrigine after heart or weight-loss surgery
This study tests whether suzetrigine, a new pain medication, can reduce the need for opioids (strong painkillers) after cardiac or bariatric surgery. The goal is to help patients manage pain with fewer opioid-related side effects.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT07532174Recruiting
Blood-Cleaning Device During Heart Surgery
This trial tests a special blood-filtering device (Efferon LPS) used during heart surgery to reduce inflammation and improve recovery. The device removes harmful substances from your blood during the operation.
BarnaulAges 18 years+ - NCT07518524Recruiting
Fast Recovery After Heart Valve Surgery
This trial compares two recovery approaches after heart valve surgery: one that wakes you up very quickly in the operating room, and one that's slightly less aggressive. Both use techniques that avoid large chest incisions. The goal is to see which approach gets you breathing on your own sooner and helps you recover faster.
Legnano, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07513974Recruiting
Pain sensitivity test to predict opioid needs in heart surgery
This study measures how sensitive you are to pain using a special device, then tracks how much pain medication you need during heart surgery. The goal is to see if pain sensitivity can predict opioid requirements and help doctors customize pain control for you.
Brussels, AnderlechtAges Any age - NCT07496424Recruiting
Comparing manual vs automatic strain in heart surgery patients
This trial compares two ways of measuring heart strain (the heart's ability to squeeze) after cardiac surgery. It uses GE ultrasound machines and special software to see if automatic measurements are as good as manual ones.
ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT06632613RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of ENN0403 to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This study tests a new drug (ENN0403) given during heart surgery to see if it prevents acute kidney injury—a sudden drop in kidney function. The trial is for people who are already at higher risk due to their specific heart surgery and other health factors.
ShanghaiAges 18–85 - NCT07484477Recruiting
Sitting less to improve heart and lung function after heart surgery
This study tests whether helping people sit less and move more after heart surgery can improve their breathing, heart function, and quality of life. If you're between 50 and 80 and have had heart surgery, this may help you recover better.
Peshawar, KPKAges 50–80 - NCT07472959RecruitingPhase 4
Morphine for pain after heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery can help control pain after the operation. It is for people having planned heart bypass surgery who are moderately sick and not already on strong pain medicines.
Istanbul, Outside of the USAges 18–80 - NCT07472296Recruiting
Comparing nerve blocks for heart surgery pain relief
This trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–80 - NCT06786416Recruiting
Monitoring to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial is testing a new monitoring system that tracks blood flow and other vital signs during heart surgery to help prevent kidney damage afterward.
San Donato Milanese, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07391683Recruiting
Heart failure support before heart surgery
This trial tests if special remote care before heart surgery can improve recovery for people with heart failure. You will have regular check-ins by video or phone to help manage your health before your operation.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT07385170Recruiting
Glucose monitor accuracy during heart surgery
This trial checks how well a continuous glucose monitor works during heart surgery. It aims to help manage blood sugar levels more safely in the operating room.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06625892Recruiting
Fear of movement after heart surgery
This study looks at why some people fear moving after heart surgery and tests a program to help them overcome that fear. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life.

Comparing heart protection solutions during major heart surgery
This trial compares two types of cardioplegia (a solution that stops your heart during surgery) to see which one leads to better outcomes. It is for adults undergoing major heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
