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 whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery helps treat postoperative anemia (low red blood cells) in people age 70 and older. It may improve recovery by correcting low iron levels after surgery.
This trial tests if a newer type of iron pill (sucrosomial iron) works as well as intravenous (IV) iron to raise low red blood cell levels before heart surgery. If you have mild anemia from low iron, this study may help improve your blood count before your procedure.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein before surgery helps people with stomach (gastric) cancer who need an operation. It may be aimed at improving iron levels around the time of gastrectomy (stomach removal).
This trial looks at whether a specific iron infusion (ferric derisomaltose) can help treat anemia after spinal deformity surgery. You may be eligible if your blood counts show anemia soon after surgery and it’s likely due to iron deficiency.
This study tests whether giving iron supplements before spinal fusion surgery can help kids with low iron levels. It aims to understand iron deficiency in young people with scoliosis and improve their surgical outcomes.
