Tracking complications after heart surgery in adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how often and why complications happen after heart surgery, using information from the hospital stay. It may help improve care by understanding postoperative risks and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be able to understand and consent to the study (have legal decision-making capacity)
- You are having cardiac surgery that uses a heart-lung machine during the operation
- You agree to have your hospital medical information recorded for research

This is a registry that collects information from people who have heart or chest (thoracic) surgery. It may help doctors understand what improves outcomes after surgery, but it usually does not test a new drug.
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.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can predict a serious heart problem called low cardiac output syndrome after a child has heart surgery. Doctors hope this will help them spot and treat this issue earlier, which could lead to better recovery for your child.
This trial looks at heart rhythm issues (especially atrial fibrillation) that can happen after certain heart procedures. It may help doctors better predict, prevent, or manage these rhythm problems after surgery.
This study follows people after planned, higher-risk surgery to learn what complications happen and how patients do long-term. It may help doctors predict risks and improve care for people having similar operations.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
