Recruiting studies
- NCT07348510Recruiting
Diuretic Effect of Aminophylline and Furosemide in Heart Surgery Patients
This study is testing if a combination of two medicines (aminophylline and furosemide) can help the kidneys produce more urine after heart surgery. It may help reduce fluid buildup and protect kidney function.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07024433Recruiting
No-breathing-tube surgery for early lung cancer
This study tests a special 'tubeless' anesthesia technique — avoiding breathing tubes during surgery — for people with early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if it reduces lung problems after the operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT04217421RecruitingPhase 3
Allopurinol for newborns needing heart surgery with bypass
This trial tests whether the medicine allopurinol can protect the brain and heart in newborns with serious congenital heart disease who need heart surgery soon after birth. It may help reduce injury during and around surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
GroningenAges Up to 1 month - NCT05740397Recruiting
Testing blood pressure targets during heart-lung bypass
This trial compares different strategies for keeping a specific blood pressure level during heart-lung bypass surgery. It may help reduce complications by finding the safest blood pressure target during the operation.
VeronaAges 18–80 - NCT07729891Recruiting
Vital sign monitoring after urological surgery
This study tests a system that constantly watches your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) after urological surgery, to catch problems early. It's for people who are not expected to need the Intensive Care Unit after their operation.
Parma, ParmaAges 18 years+ - NCT06902467Recruiting
Chemotherapy directly into the abdomen after surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) after optimal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for women who have already received 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy before surgery.
MurciaAges 18–70 - NCT07079904Recruiting
Laser and ultrasound for IV placement in heart surgery
This trial tests a new method using laser and ultrasound guidance to place a small tube (IV) in a vein for patients having heart surgery. It may help make the procedure faster and safer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06823778Recruiting
Preventing irregular heartbeat after heart surgery with radiofrequency
This trial tests whether using radiofrequency energy to isolate a small area in the heart's left upper chamber can prevent a common irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after heart surgery.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06629311Recruiting
Blood recycling device study in heart surgery
This trial looks at how a device that collects and reuses your own blood during heart surgery works. It may help reduce the need for donated blood.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT06464263Recruiting
Dexmedetomidine vs. midazolam-fentanyl for sedation
This trial compares two sedation and pain relief medicine combinations (dexmedetomidine vs. midazolam-fentanyl) to see which works better for people having planned heart valve surgery.
CairoAges 21–50 - NCT05885230Recruiting
Pain relief after heart surgery: nerve block vs lidocaine drip
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after open-heart surgery: an ultrasound-guided nerve block (PIFB) versus lidocaine given through a vein. The goal is to see which method works better and helps you recover more comfortably.
Banī Suwayf, e\EYGPTAges 18–75 - NCT07611045Recruiting
Understanding recovery and care after heart surgery
This study asks patients and their families about their experience after heart surgery (like bypass or valve repair) to help doctors improve follow-up care. You'll share your story through an interview, and your feedback could help future patients.
Bristol, BristolAges 18 years+ - NCT06230198Recruiting
Effect of a blood-saving technique on transfusions after heart surgery
This trial tests whether a technique called retrograde autologous priming (using the patient's own blood to prepare the heart-lung machine) can reduce the need for blood transfusions during heart surgery. It is looking at hospitals and surgical teams, not individual patients, so it's not a typical trial you can join directly.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 10–110 - NCT07172620Recruiting
Heart bypass surgery without clamping the aorta
This study tests a special technique for heart bypass surgery that avoids clamping the aorta. It may help people with hardened arteries in the aorta who need bypass surgery but are not good candidates for standard clamping.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07410988RecruitingPhase 4
Starch vs. crystalloid fluid for heart surgery patients
This trial compares two types of IV fluids (a starch solution vs. a balanced salt solution) to see which one better protects kidneys after heart surgery. It is for adults having planned heart surgery who do not have severe kidney problems.
DaejeonAges 19 years+ - NCT07287345RecruitingPhase 4
Colchicine’s effect on inflammation after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether the drug colchicine can reduce inflammation after planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. It may help patients recover better by lowering inflammatory markers.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT07179029Recruiting
Can anesthesia affect the heart during non-cardiac surgery?
This study looks at whether anesthesia can cause heart damage during non-cardiac surgeries. If you have certain health risks, participating may help doctors learn how to better protect your heart.
TübingenAges 40–80 - NCT05824260Recruiting
Study of risk factors for complications after major surgery
This study looks at patients who've had major abdominal, bone, or blood-vessel surgery to understand what factors make some people more likely to have complications afterward. It analyzes information already collected from hospitals to help doctors better predict and prevent problems.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06814951Recruiting
Breathing & movement technique after heart bypass surgery
This study tests a special breathing and movement technique called the Thoraco-abdominal Rebalance Method to see if it helps people recover faster after heart bypass surgery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 35 years+ - NCT06399536Recruiting
Individualized blood management for major non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests a personalized approach to managing your own blood during surgery, which may reduce the need for donor blood transfusions. It is for people having planned non-cardiac surgery expected to need a large amount of blood.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06178510Recruiting
Breathing support after heart surgery
This trial tests a new way to help patients breathe after heart surgery. It compares standard breathing support with a new device that might help you recover faster in the ICU.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–120 - NCT06128330RecruitingPhase 4
Bedside test for bleeding prevention drug in heart surgery
This study tests a quick bedside measurement of how well the drug tranexamic acid works to prevent bleeding during heart surgery. It may help doctors give the right dose to reduce blood loss.
BernAges 18–90 - NCT05481723RecruitingPhase 3
Lung ultrasound to guide fluid and blood pressure during surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether using a lung ultrasound scan during surgery can better guide blood pressure and fluid needs. It may help stabilize patients during long operations and reduce complications related to poor circulation or fluid balance.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05944146Recruiting
Tests two methods for measuring heart blood flow during surgery
This trial compares a neck ultrasound test (carotid Doppler) with a heart monitoring method (thermodilution) to see if they give consistent blood-flow readings. It may help clinicians measure circulation more reliably in people having heart surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac surgery patients?
- 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.
