Iron supplement after heart surgery study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special iron supplement (Sucrosomial® Iron) helps patients recover from heart surgery better than standard care. It is for people who have low iron or anemia after their planned heart surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at long-term results of giving iron before major heart surgery to people with low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment helps recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests a single dose of intravenous iron given after heart surgery to see if it helps prevent or reduce long-term anemia. It is for adults who already have low iron or anemia before surgery and who remain anemic the day after surgery.
This trial tests a combined treatment plan to improve anemia (low blood count/iron levels) before and around the time of major elective heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and support safer recovery.
This trial is testing whether giving iron plus vitamin C before heart surgery can reduce the need for blood transfusions. It is for people with low iron and anemia who are scheduled for bypass or valve surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery can help fix low iron levels and improve recovery. It is for people who have iron deficiency (with or without anemia) before their planned heart surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron (iron sucrose) can reduce anemia during chemotherapy before curative surgery. It may help you feel better and have smoother treatment by improving low blood counts caused by iron deficiency.
