Heart protection after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a personalized approach with blood thinners and statins can reduce heart risks after non-cardiac surgery. It is for adults 45 and older who had a heart injury during or after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older
- You had major non-cardiac surgery in the last 14 days and stayed in the hospital at least one night
- Your troponin level was high after surgery, showing possible heart damage
- You can take low-dose blood thinners safely starting within 14 days of surgery

This study compares two ways to lower the risk of blood clots in people who had hip surgery and also had a slight heart injury. You will receive either a standard blood thinner (rivaroxaban) plus aspirin, or just aspirin alone, to see which works better without extra risk.
This trial tests how to use a blood thinner in people after a recent heart attack who have a clot in the left heart chamber confirmed by heart MRI. It may help lower the risk of the clot causing serious complications, but it also requires careful bleeding-safety screening.
This trial compares two medicines to prevent blood clots after heart valve surgery. If you've had a tissue valve replaced or repaired, this study will see if a newer blood thinner (rivaroxaban) is safer and works better than the standard treatment.
This study tests whether a combination of heart-protective medications (a blood thinner, a cholesterol medicine, and a blood pressure medicine) can help people who had a heart injury after non-cardiac surgery reduce their risk of future heart problems. It is a pilot study to see if this approach is practical and safe.
This study compares two ways to lower the chances of another heart attack: taking the standard medicine (clopidogrel) versus taking a combination of aspirin and a lower dose of a blood thinner (rivaroxaban). If you join, you'll be assigned to one of these options to see which works better for people like you.
This trial tests whether a blood thinner called rivaroxaban helps improve slow blood flow in heart arteries after a stent placement for a heart attack. It may help reduce complications by keeping the arteries open better.
