Brain protection during heart bypass surgery study
This trial studies whether different circulatory support techniques during coronary artery bypass surgery affect blood flow to the brain. It may help find ways to protect brain function during the procedure.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07740304Recruiting
Blood flow test to predict survival in sepsis patients
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
Edirne, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT03195556Recruiting
Test ultrasound contrast to improve blood flow in legs
This study checks whether using a special ultrasound with contrast can improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg circulation problems, it may help doctors measure and potentially enhance how well blood reaches your limb.
Portland, OregonAges 19–99 - NCT03502408Recruiting
CT or MRI blood-flow imaging in strokes treated within 6–24 hours
This study checks how well CT or MRI “blood-flow” scans predict and measure brain injury in people with an acute ischemic stroke who are getting a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors choose the right people for treatment and evaluate treatment effects using imaging taken soon after hospital arrival.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT03607565Recruiting
Imaging test to measure brain blood flow in stroke
This trial studies a new imaging measurement derived from DSA (a special type of brain blood-vessel scan) to better estimate how well blood is flowing in the brain. It may help doctors assess stroke-related blood-flow problems, but it excludes people who have brain bleeding.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges Any age - NCT03720522Recruiting
Study brain-heart signals in acute stroke using MRI
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact right after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the first hours of stroke and improve monitoring or future treatments.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 18–86 - NCT07692490Recruiting
Avoiding cooling after warm machine perfusion for liver transplant
This study tests whether a donor liver kept on a special warm machine can be transplanted safely without needing to cool it down first. It is for adults receiving their first liver transplant who have stable liver disease (not acute failure).
AnconaAges 18 years+ - NCT04451551Recruiting
PET/CT scan study for reduced blood flow in the heart
This study uses a special PET/CT scan that shows how well blood reaches your heart muscle. It may help doctors better assess suspected or known reduced blood flow (ischemic heart disease).
