Platelet function after heart surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study watches how well platelets (cells that help blood clot) work in people who have high-risk heart surgery using a heart-lung machine for more than 2 hours. The goal is to learn more about bleeding risks after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for high-risk heart surgery using a heart-lung machine.
- Your surgery will use the heart-lung machine for more than 2 hours.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not taking blood thinners (like warfarin or apixaban) before surgery, except aspirin.

This study tests a new blood test that measures how well your blood forms clots. It aims to see if this test can predict bleeding after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine, which might help doctors manage bleeding better.
This trial looks at how a device that collects and reuses your own blood during heart surgery works. It may help reduce the need for donated blood.
This trial studies whether a platelet-related treatment can work better in people in the ICU who need a platelet transfusion after surgery. It may help reduce bleeding by improving how platelets work when certain blood clotting proteins are already high.
This study looks at how well platelets work during heart surgery using a special test called thromboelastography. It may help doctors understand and manage bleeding risks in people having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study tests whether using your own donated platelets during heart surgery can help you recover better. Platelets are cells that help your blood clot, and donating them before surgery may reduce the need for donor blood.
This study looks at how blood cells change during heart surgery and whether these changes affect bleeding or inflammation after the operation. It may help doctors predict and manage complications in people having heart surgery.
