Angiopoietin levels and outcomes after heart bypass surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a blood protein called angiopoietin relates to recovery and complications after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. If you’re having scheduled heart bypass-type surgery, your team may take blood samples to see whether these levels can help predict outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- Your planned heart surgery uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass)
- Your surgery is a first-time (not a redo/repeat) surgery
- Your surgery is scheduled (not emergency/urgent)
- Your planned surgery is not for an aortic root repair
- Your case is not due to endocarditis, aortic dissection, or heart transplant

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 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 whether giving a medicine called angiotensin II during heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults having certain types of heart surgery who have a higher risk of kidney problems.
This study looks at what factors affect recovery in people having planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find out what helps predict a good recovery.
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 study looks for signs in blood or samples that could show early kidney damage after cardiac surgery. If the markers work, they may help doctors diagnose acute kidney injury faster and safer.
