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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 if a small sensor placed in your lung artery during surgery can safely help doctors watch for remaining high blood pressure after the operation. It may help catch problems earlier, but it is a small exploratory study for people at higher risk of having this issue.
This study looks at how often kidney injury happens after a surgery to remove blood clots or tumors from the lung arteries (called pulmonary endarterectomy). The goal is to understand risk factors so doctors can better protect kidneys before and after surgery.
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 program helps mildly or moderately frail patients get physically stronger before their heart surgery or procedure. It is designed to improve recovery and outcomes by starting exercises and support during the waiting period.
