Safety of a groin artery tube for heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a special tube (cannula) placed in the groin artery during heart surgery to connect a heart-lung machine. It's for people who are scheduled for planned heart surgery and may be helped by this refined device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You can understand the study and give your permission (informed consent).
- You are scheduled for heart surgery that will use a heart-lung machine, with the tube placed in the groin area.
- Your surgery is expected to last no more than 6 hours.
- You weigh between 45 and 130 kg (about 100 to 286 pounds).

This study tests two types of tubes used during heart surgery to connect you to a heart-lung machine. It aims to see if they work safely and effectively.
This study compares two methods of placing a small tube (arterial line) in your wrist or arm to monitor blood pressure during heart surgery. Both methods use ultrasound to guide the tube, and the study aims to see which technique works better when the artery is hard to access.
This study tests whether using a special monitor in the heart (pulmonary artery catheter) during surgery helps doctors care for patients better. It is for adults having heart or major chest surgery, but does not include very high-risk emergency cases.
This study looks at how well a special tube (aortic root cannula) works and how safe it is during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to make sure the device is safe and effective for patients.
This study follows patients during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine to see if a special tube (coronary perfusion cannula) works well and is safe. The tube helps keep blood flowing to the heart during surgery, and the study will help doctors understand how it performs in real patients.
This trial compares two ways of managing blood flow to your leg when you have a heart support device placed in the groin. One way uses a small extra tube (catheter) to keep blood flowing to your leg, and the other only adds it if needed. It aims to reduce leg complications.
