Blood recovery during heart surgery study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have coronary bypass surgery or heart valve surgery (only one type of surgery)
- This is your first heart surgery (you have never had heart surgery before)
- Your surgery is planned, not an emergency
- You do not have advanced chronic kidney disease
- You are willing to receive a blood transfusion if needed
- You do not have low red blood cell count (anemia), low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), or a bleeding disorder (coagulopathy)
