MiECC heart-lung machine vs standard bypass during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares a newer heart-lung machine setup (MiECC) with the usual bypass technique during certain heart operations. It may help see whether MiECC changes outcomes like the need for blood transfusions or recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an elective or urgent heart operation: CABG (bypass), aortic valve replacement, or both together (CABG+AVR).
- Your surgery will use a heart-lung machine (a blood circulation machine) and will not involve stopping circulation.
- Your operation is not labeled as emergency or “salvage” surgery.
- You do not need major aortic surgery such as replacing the aortic root.
- You can consent to the study, and you are willing/able to receive necessary blood products if needed.

This study compares two ways of using the heart-lung machine during heart bypass surgery to see which one causes less inflammation and stress on the body. If you are having planned heart bypass surgery, participating could help doctors understand how to reduce recovery side effects.
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine during bypass surgery to see which causes less inflammation in the body. The goal is to help people recover faster and with fewer complications after heart surgery.
This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
This study looks at patients having planned heart bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine to understand what factors affect their recovery. It helps doctors learn more about how to improve outcomes after surgery.
This study tests a special technique for heart bypass surgery that avoids clamping the aorta. It may help people with hardened arteries in the aorta who need bypass surgery but are not good candidates for standard clamping.
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
