Monitoring blood pressure during surgery to predict low blood pressure
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07304947Recruiting
Guiding blood flow during Moyamoya surgery in children
This study tests if careful monitoring and management of blood flow during surgery can help children with Moyamoya disease recover better after EDAS. It aims to improve safety and outcomes by adjusting treatment based on real-time heart function.
SeoulAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07339475Recruiting
Using vein size to predict blood pressure drops in older adults during hip or leg surgery
This study uses an ultrasound to measure the size of a vein in your leg before surgery to see if it can predict a drop in blood pressure during the procedure. If you are over 60 and having planned lower-limb surgery with spinal anesthesia, this non-invasive test might help your doctors prepare for your care.
CairoAges 60 years+ - NCT07662408RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two drugs to prevent low blood pressure during hip surgery
This trial tests two different medicines (norepinephrine and phenylephrine) given as an infusion to prevent low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for hip surgery. It may help older adults undergoing planned hip replacement or repair.

Personalized cardiac rehab after a heart attack
This study tests a personalized cardiac rehabilitation program for people who have recently had a heart attack. The program is designed to be more patient-centered, helping you recover and lower your risk for future heart problems.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07255768Enrolling by invitation
Pain relief blocks for hip surgery: comparing two methods
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip surgery. One block targets the capsule around the hip joint, while the other adds blocks for nearby nerves. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain.
ErzurumAges 18–80 - 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.

Vagus nerve stimulation for heart protection after lung surgery in older adults
This trial tests if a gentle ear stimulation device can protect the heart after lung surgery in patients aged 60 and older. It is for those having a planned lung procedure (lobectomy, segmentectomy, or wedge resection) through small chest incisions.
Jiaxing, ZhejiangAges 60 years+ - NCT04077762Recruiting
Radial vs femoral access to reduce bleeding in heart procedures
This study compares two ways doctors can reach the heart during a catheter procedure: through the wrist (radial) or the groin (femoral). It aims to reduce bleeding and access-site complications, especially when patients may need a balloon/stent (PCI).

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 389 recruiting cardiac surgery patients studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cardiac surgery patients trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiac surgery patients trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
