Flushing the heart area after surgery with the Pure System
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that flushes fluid around the heart after cardiac surgery to see if it works well and is easy to use. It may help the recovery process for people who had open-heart surgery.

This study follows patients who have a type of heart bypass surgery called 'beating heart' CABG, where a special Getinge device is used to keep the heart pumping during the operation. It helps doctors learn more about how well these devices work in real-world use.
This trial tests a new device that measures heart function closely after heart surgery. It may help doctors give better care if you are in the heart intensive care unit after your operation.
This trial tests whether collecting and re-infusing your own blood during heart surgery reduces the need for donor blood transfusions. It's for adults having planned bypass surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This trial tests if a machine that collects and reuses blood during heart surgery can help patients avoid needing donor blood transfusions. It is for people having a first-time coronary bypass or heart valve surgery.
This study tests a method to see if your body needs more fluids during heart bypass surgery. After the surgeon opens your chest, they will use a special breathing maneuver to check how well your heart responds to extra fluid, which may help guide your care.
This trial tests a new heart-assist device designed to help patients whose hearts are too weak to pump blood on their own after heart surgery. The device is placed through a catheter (thin tube) and aims to improve blood flow and survival in people who don't respond to standard medications.
