Banking heart tissue samples after cardiac surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects tissue samples from people who are having heart surgery and stores them in a database to better understand the body’s inflammatory (immune) response after surgery. Your participation may help researchers learn why inflammation happens and how to improve care after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for and undergoing cardiac (heart) surgery
- You must be able to provide consent for tissue sample collection/storage
- You will likely have tissue collected during your surgery (as permitted by your surgical team)
- There are no listed health conditions that automatically exclude you

This study examines how heart-lung machines used during heart surgery affect blood platelets (clotting cells) and the body's inflammatory response. Understanding these changes may help doctors better manage bleeding and inflammation after cardiac surgery.
This study collects samples of heart muscle tissue (biopsy) to better understand heart conditions. It is for people who already need this biopsy for their healthcare.
This study collects tissue samples from children and adults having heart surgery. The samples will help researchers learn more about heart conditions and improve future treatments.
This study collects blood and/or heart tissue samples from certain people getting heart procedures or with a long-term heart pump. The goal is to store these samples for future research that may improve care for heart failure.
This trial builds a database by collecting and storing biopsy or biopsy-related samples from adults being evaluated for certain heart conditions. It may help researchers study heart disease and amyloidosis by making past tissue samples easier to access for future research.
This study measures how active white blood cells and inflammation are during complex heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors better understand what triggers inflammation during surgery and how to improve care.
