Testing blood pressure targets during heart-lung bypass
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned (elective) heart surgery
- Your surgical risk score (EuroSCORE II) is under 9%
- Your planned operation is one of these: valve surgery, coronary bypass, or specific aorta surgery, done through a full or mini chest incision
- Your heart pumping strength before surgery is at least 40% (LVEF ≥ 40%)
- Your kidney function is adequate (eGFR is 40 or higher) and you are not on dialysis
- You can sign informed consent

This study compares two ways of managing blood pressure during heart bypass surgery to see which is better for patient outcomes. The goal is to help doctors choose the right blood pressure targets during surgery.
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 trial tests a lung-friendly breathing method during coronary artery bypass surgery, using a personalized ventilator setting to protect your lungs. It may help reduce lung complications after surgery.
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.
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 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.
