Landiolol study for mitral valve surgery patients
This trial tests a short-acting beta-blocker called Landiolol given during mitral valve surgery to see if it helps the heart recover after surgery. It is for patients who have certain signs of heart strain before their operation.
Alessandria, PiedmontAges 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+ - NCT07677319Recruiting
Heart surgery after age 75: a study on recovery
This study looks at how well people aged 75 and older recover after emergency heart surgery. It uses a special test to measure frailty and quality of life for one year after surgery.
Bordeaux, FranceAges 75 years+ - NCT06620523RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether combining two natural supplements (CoQ10 and glutathione) can protect your kidneys during heart bypass surgery. It may help prevent acute kidney injury, a common complication after these procedures.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–70 - NCT06586749Recruiting
Nurse-led education and phone support to reduce infections after heart bypass
This study tests whether a special nurse-led program of phone calls and education can help reduce infections after heart bypass surgery. You may be eligible if you are at higher risk for infection and have a smartphone.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT06349577Recruiting
Bypass machine settings to protect kidneys during heart surgery
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT05595954Recruiting
Personalized anesthesia plan to protect the brain during heart surgery
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
BaselAges 65 years+ - NCT06405516Recruiting
Platelet function after heart surgery
This study watches how well platelets (cells that help blood clot) work in people who have high-risk heart surgery using a heart-lung machine for more than 2 hours. The goal is to learn more about bleeding risks after surgery.
BernAges 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 - 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+ - NCT05344573Recruiting
Testing better blood-flow rhythms during heart bypass surgery
This trial studies ways to control the “pulsatility” (how the blood pressure pulses during circulation) while you are on a heart-lung bypass machine. It may help improve safety and heart function during planned heart surgery.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 50–70 - NCT05849597RecruitingPhase 3
Dexmedetomidine to prevent delirium after open-heart surgery
This trial tests whether a sedating medicine called dexmedetomidine can reduce the risk of “delirium” (sudden confusion) in the intensive care unit after open-heart surgery. If you’re having certain heart operations, it may help protect your thinking and alertness during recovery.
KamenitzAges 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+ - NCT06271265RecruitingPhase 1
Testing EXPAREL for pain after heart surgery in children
This study tests a long-acting pain medicine (EXPAREL) given during heart surgery to see how it works in young children. The goal is to help control pain after surgery with fewer side effects.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges birth–6 years - NCT05999721Recruiting
Nerve block for better breathing after heart surgery
This trial is testing a nerve block (a numbing injection) placed near the breastbone to see if it helps your lungs work better after heart surgery. If you are having planned heart surgery through a breastbone cut, you may be able to join.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT06619912RecruitingPhase 3
Medicine to prevent confusion after heart surgery
This trial tests if a medication called dexmedetomidine can help prevent postoperative delirium (sudden confusion and disorientation) after heart surgery. It is for adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06706258RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart surgery with a stomach acid drug

- Are there clinical trials for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 80 recruiting cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass 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 with cardiopulmonary bypass 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 with cardiopulmonary bypass trial?
