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.

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 tests whether using a special catheter (thin tube) in the pulmonary artery during heart or aorta surgery helps doctors better manage your heart's function. The catheter measures pressures in your heart to guide treatment during surgery.
This trial tests which technique works better for placing a small tube in the wrist artery for monitoring during heart surgery. It compares the standard method to one using ultrasound guidance to find the best approach for patients with difficult wrist arteries.
This study tests whether numbing medicine given through two thin tubes placed during heart surgery can help you recover faster and breathe better. It is for adults having on-pump coronary bypass who also have a lung condition or other risk factor.
This study follows patients who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass) and a special tube called an aortic root cannula. Researchers will monitor how well the device works and whether it causes any problems during and after surgery.
This study compares measuring blood pressure through an arm artery (radial) versus a leg artery (femoral) during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
