Heart protection after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, 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 trial tests a blood thinner called rivaroxaban (Xarelto) given right after heart valve surgery with a tissue valve. It aims to see if it can prevent blood clots or strokes safely in the early recovery period.
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 tests whether a combination of two blood thinners (rivaroxaban and aspirin) is better than aspirin alone at preventing clots after hip fracture surgery, for people who also had a mild heart injury. It may help find a safer, more effective way to prevent dangerous blood clots.
This trial tests a blood thinner, rivaroxaban, to see if it can prevent blood clots from forming in the heart after a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) that affects the front part of the heart.
This trial tests adding heart-protective medications after noncardiac surgery to see if they can prevent further heart injury. It may help people who had a heart injury after surgery that was not caused by another problem like infection.
This trial studies whether a specific blood thinner can better treat a left-side heart clot found soon after a heart attack. It may help prevent the clot from getting worse or causing complications.
