Study of inflammation activity during complex heart surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for complex heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (CPB).
- The surgery is planned (not an emergency) with time to review and sign consent at least 1 hour in advance.
- You are not in a very critical condition where doctors expect imminent death (ASA 5).
- You do not have a blood-related or cancer-related condition (hematologic or oncologic disease).
- You are not a Jehovah’s Witness.

This study collects and analyzes small samples of heart tissue during specific heart operations in babies or children. The goal is to better understand how the heart develops after birth, which could improve future care.
This study looks at how managing blood products during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine affects the risk of red blood cell breakdown in children. The goal is to find safer ways to handle blood during these procedures.
This trial studies patterns in immune cells (neutrophils) in very young children who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. The goal is to better understand and potentially reduce lung injury after surgery.
This study looks at how blood cells change during heart surgery and whether these changes affect bleeding or inflammation after the operation. It may help doctors predict and manage complications in people having heart surgery.
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.
This study looks at how well blood thinners (anticoagulants) and inflammation markers work in people having heart or blood vessel procedures. It aims to better monitor these treatments to improve patient safety.
