Testing better blood-flow rhythms during heart bypass surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 70 years old
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent
- You are scheduled for planned (elective) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung bypass machine
- You are not having an emergency surgery
- You do not have sepsis or serious confusion (delirium) right now

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.
This trial tests a targeted way to manage blood pressure before and after off-pump heart bypass surgery, with the goal of reducing acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems). It may help some people by lowering stress on the kidneys during and right after surgery.
This study tests a technique used during planned heart bypass surgery to see whether it changes substances measured in urine that reflect kidney stress or injury. If you have upcoming elective bypass surgery, your team may collect blood and urine samples to study how your kidneys respond.
This trial compares different strategies for keeping a specific blood pressure level during heart-lung bypass surgery. It may help reduce complications by finding the safest blood pressure target during the operation.
This study looks at how a blood-pressure hormone system (RAAS) changes during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help researchers understand better how to manage blood pressure and heart stress around the time of surgery.
This study looks at a treatment that affects signals between heart cells in people with severe coronary artery disease who are scheduled for bypass surgery. The goal is to see if changing these heart-cell signals can improve heart outcomes around the time of surgery.
