Comparing heart-lung machine methods in bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using the heart-lung machine during bypass surgery to see which causes less inflammation and stress on the body. It may help doctors choose the best approach for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.
- Your surgery will be done through a cut down the middle of your chest (sternotomy) with tubes placed directly into your heart.
- You have not had heart surgery before.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not allergic to any of the medicines used in the study (other than the antibiotic cefazolin).

This trial compares a newer heart-lung machine setup (MiECC) with the usual bypass technique during certain heart operations. It may help see whether MiECC changes outcomes like the need for blood transfusions or recovery after surgery.
This trial compares two ways to filter blood during heart surgery in young children to see which method works better. It may help kids under 5 who need heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study measures how well blood flows through small vessels in your heart and under your tongue during open-heart surgery. It aims to better understand circulation in people having valve repair or aorta replacement with a heart-lung machine.
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 compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
This study tests personalized breathing machine settings during open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine to reduce lung complications after surgery. Researchers want to see if tailoring these settings to each patient helps them recover better.
