San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05559164RecruitingPhase 2
Statins to protect the heart during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine (a statin) can lower the risk of heart damage in people receiving HER2-targeted breast cancer therapy. If you qualify, you may be given a statin and followed with heart tests and blood work to watch for safety and benefit.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06728826Recruiting
Preventing atrial fibrillation after heart surgery with pericardiotomy
This study tests if opening the sac around the heart (pericardiotomy) can lower the chance of developing an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation after heart surgery. It is for people having surgery on the heart's valves, major blood vessels, or arteries.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07048002Recruiting
Silent brain infarct and cognitive decline after heart surgery
This trial tests a bundle of interventions to prevent silent brain infarctions (small 'silent' strokes) and thinking problems after heart or blood vessel surgery with a heart-lung machine. If you are 60 or older and having such surgery, this study may help protect your brain health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT06716840Recruiting
Remimazolam for sedation after heart surgery
This trial tests a medication called Remimazolam Besylate to sedate patients who need a breathing tube after heart surgery. The goal is to help patients relax while they recover in the intensive care unit.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04808401Recruiting
Testing how different oxygen levels affect surgery outcomes
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06510140Recruiting
Brain monitoring and frailty to predict confusion after surgery in older adults
This study tests if monitoring your brain waves during surgery and checking your frailty level can help predict whether you might become confused after surgery. It aims to improve care for older adults having major non-cardiac operations.
Saint-EtienneAges 75 years+ - NCT07028593RecruitingPhase 4
Ciprofol for heart protection during lung surgery
This trial tests if a new sedative drug, Ciprofol, can reduce heart damage after non-cardiac surgery compared to standard care. It is for people aged 45–80 having planned lung surgery (like lobe removal or wedge resection) who will stay in the hospital for at least 3 days after the procedure.
WuhanAges 40–80 - NCT06401616RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping blood thinners after heart surgery for atrial fibrillation
This trial tests whether it is safe for patients with atrial fibrillation to stop taking blood thinners after they have had heart surgery, including closure of the left atrial appendage. The goal is to see if these patients can avoid long-term medication without increasing the risk of stroke.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05664308Recruiting
Watch-based heart rhythm monitoring after heart surgery
This study tests whether a connected watch can help monitor an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) after heart surgery. It looks at people who develop new atrial fibrillation after surgery and compares how well monitoring works over the next 12 months.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT06800781Recruiting
Chest tube duration to prevent afib after heart surgery
This trial tests if leaving a chest tube in a little longer after heart surgery can lower the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It's for people having certain planned heart surgeries who have not had this rhythm problem before.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT06001502Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain and anxiety after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) goggles after heart bypass surgery can help reduce pain and anxiety. If you are having a planned CABG and have no major vision, hearing, or other health issues, you may be eligible.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT03472157Recruiting
Bariatric surgery for severe NASH with advanced liver scarring
This study tests whether bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) improves severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced liver scarring in people who are obese. You may also need liver biopsies to confirm your liver disease before and after treatment.
LilleAges 18–65 - NCT07193719RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac surgery patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 388 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.
