Frailty and lung function after pulmonary endarterectomy
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how frailty, physical ability, and lung function change in people who have had surgery to remove blood clots from the lungs (pulmonary endarterectomy). It aims to help doctors better understand recovery after this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are scheduled for elective surgery to remove blood clots from the lungs
- You do not have any thinking or memory problems that would make it hard to do physical tests before surgery
- You do not have any problems with moving your arms or legs that would make it hard to do physical tests before surgery

This study compares balloon pulmonary angioplasty versus pulmonary endarterectomy for people with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs due to long-lasting blood clots). It may help find which procedure works better for improving symptoms and lung circulation after treatment.
This study looks at how confident patients feel about managing their heart health after surgery for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. It may help doctors understand how to better support recovery.
This study tests whether a small implanted sensor (CardioMEMS) that monitors pressure in the lung artery can help doctors detect and manage complications after surgery for chronic blood clots in the lungs. It aims to improve recovery and long-term outcomes.
This study looks at how often acute kidney injury happens after a type of heart-lung surgery called pulmonary endarterectomy, which is used to treat blood clots or tumors in the lung arteries. If you are scheduled for or have had this surgery, the information gathered may help doctors better understand and prevent kidney problems.
This study looks at frailty (how strong or vulnerable a person is) in adults who are having a left atrial appendage closure procedure through a catheter. The goal is to understand which patients may be more vulnerable during or after the procedure.
This study tests how well simple frailty screening tools predict recovery and complications after major surgery in people aged 70 and older. The goal is to help doctors and patients better understand surgical risks.
