Device study for heart surgery patients in the heart intensive care unit
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You had heart surgery and are now in the heart intensive care unit (CTICU)
- You may or may not have a pulmonary artery catheter (a thin tube in a blood vessel near your heart)
- Your breastbone is closed after surgery and you do not have certain heart pumps like LVAD, ECMO, or Impella
- You are still breathing with a ventilator when you leave the operating room (not already breathing on your own)
- You do not have ongoing atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) that is hard to treat or frequent extra beats

This trial tests a new device that measures heart function without needing an invasive catheter. It aims to see if the device works as well as the standard right heart catheterization procedure.
This trial studies a new device called the CRUISE System that is used during emergency care for people with shock. It helps doctors monitor and support your heart and blood flow while you are being treated by emergency medical services or at a UPMC hospital.
This study checks whether a non-invasive blood pressure device can measure blood pressure accurately in ICU patients right after cardiac surgery. It compares the new device to standard invasive monitoring through an arterial line or catheter.
This study tests a new device (the VentriCure) that temporarily helps your heart pump during a stent procedure. It is for people with heart failure and blocked arteries who are at high risk for bypass surgery.
This study tests whether using a special monitor in the heart (pulmonary artery catheter) during surgery helps doctors care for patients better. It is for adults having heart or major chest surgery, but does not include very high-risk emergency cases.
This study is checking how safe and effective a special drainage tube (vent catheter) is when used during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. By taking part, you help ensure the device works well for future patients.
