Monitoring glycocalyx to predict complications after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study will see if measuring a substance in your blood (glycocalyx) can help doctors predict problems after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to improve care after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) heart surgery that will use a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- Your surgery is expected to last more than 60 minutes on the heart-lung machine.
- You agree to take part and have no objections by the day before surgery.
- You are covered by a social security system (health insurance).

This trial checks how well a continuous glucose monitor works during heart surgery. It aims to help manage blood sugar levels more safely in the operating room.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to monitor how well oxygen is being delivered to your body during and after heart surgery. Researchers will compare this new monitoring method with standard devices that are already being used during your surgery.
This study looks at how to predict and diagnose stomach and bowel problems in people having heart surgery. It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk and catch issues early.
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 how often and why complications happen after heart surgery, using information from the hospital stay. It may help improve care by understanding postoperative risks and outcomes.
This study looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (the glycocalyx) and oxidative stress affect blood vessel function after heart bypass surgery. The goal is to better understand why some people recover differently.
