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+ - NCT06756789Recruiting
Comparing standard vs. tailored limb lengths in gastric bypass
This study compares two different ways of measuring the length of the small intestine during a type of weight loss surgery called gastric bypass. If you are eligible, you may help determine which approach leads to better weight loss results.
Coimbatore, Tamil NaduAges 18–65 - NCT06952907Recruiting
Arm vs. leg artery pressure monitoring in heart surgery
This study compares measuring blood pressure through an arm artery (radial) versus a leg artery (femoral) during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07390903Recruiting
Heart function test for difficult bypass weaning
This trial studies whether a heart ultrasound test called GLS can help predict complications when patients are taken off the heart-lung machine after heart surgery. It aims to improve management for better outcomes.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06793670RecruitingPhase 4
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 - NCT07770269Recruiting
Heart function and anesthesia depth during heart surgery
This study checks how well the heart works and how deep the anesthesia is during planned heart surgery where a heart-lung machine is used. It aims to improve safety and outcomes for patients.
ThessalonikiAges 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+ - NCT07625553RecruitingPhase 2
Relaxin Agonist to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This study tests whether a drug called R2R01 can help protect your kidneys during major heart surgery. Heart surgery can sometimes damage the kidneys, and this trial is looking to see if this new medication reduces that risk.
MilanAges 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+ - NCT07557108Recruiting
Nerve Blocks to Improve Recovery After Heart Surgery
This study tests whether special numbing injections around nerves in the chest wall (fascial plane blocks) help patients recover better and have less pain after open-heart surgery. The goal is to see if this technique improves how you feel and function in the days after your operation.
Ordu, AltinorduAges 18–70 - NCT07432477Recruiting
Lung opening techniques after heart surgery
This trial compares two methods of opening the lungs (recruitment maneuvers) after heart-lung bypass to see which works better. The study aims to help patients recover their lung function more quickly after cardiac surgery.
SamsunAges 18–80 - NCT07401836Recruiting
Sleep bundle for heart surgery patients
This trial tests a special sleep program (bundle) to help patients sleep better after heart surgery. Researchers want to see if it improves recovery and well-being.
Saint John, New BrunswickAges 19 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 82 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?
- 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.
