IV iron after heart surgery for iron deficiency
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery can help fix low iron levels and improve recovery. It is for people who have iron deficiency (with or without anemia) before their planned heart surgery.

This trial tests a combined treatment plan to improve anemia (low blood count/iron levels) before and around the time of major elective heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and support safer recovery.
This study looks at long-term results of giving iron before major heart surgery to people with low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment helps recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests whether a special iron supplement (Sucrosomial® Iron) helps patients recover from heart surgery better than standard care. It is for people who have low iron or anemia after their planned heart surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery helps treat postoperative anemia (low red blood cells) in people age 70 and older. It may improve recovery by correcting low iron levels after surgery.
