Monitoring belly pressure during heart surgery to protect kidneys
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special urinary catheter that measures pressure in your belly during heart surgery. The goal is to see if it helps protect your kidneys by tracking blood flow to them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung bypass machine.
- Your ejection fraction (a measure of heart pumping strength) is below 50%.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have end-stage kidney disease or require dialysis.
- You are not currently using ECMO or an Impella device for heart support.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.

This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
