Program to treat mild anemia around heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a combined treatment plan to improve anemia (low blood count/iron levels) before and around the time of major elective heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and support safer recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can sign informed consent.
- Your anemia/iron levels fit specific lab targets (ferritin below 300 and transferrin saturation below 25), and your hemoglobin is in a defined mild anemia range.
- You are scheduled for elective major heart surgery such as valve replacement, CABG (heart bypass), or both.
- You are in good general health for surgery (ASA grade 1–3).
- You have not had iron, blood transfusion, or related anemia treatments within the last 12 weeks.

This study looks at long-term results of giving iron before major heart surgery to people with low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment helps recovery and outcomes.
This trial is testing whether giving iron plus vitamin C before heart surgery can reduce the need for blood transfusions. It is for people with low iron and anemia who are scheduled for bypass or valve surgery.
This study tests whether giving an iron infusion after heart surgery can prevent long-term anemia (low blood counts). It aims to help patients recover better and avoid needing blood transfusions later.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery can help fix low iron levels and improve recovery. It is for people who have iron deficiency (with or without anemia) before their planned heart surgery.
This trial tests whether a special iron supplement (Sucrosomial® Iron) helps patients recover from heart surgery better than standard care. It is for people who have low iron or anemia after their planned heart surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery helps treat postoperative anemia (low red blood cells) in people age 70 and older. It may improve recovery by correcting low iron levels after surgery.
