Comparing drainage methods in heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies two ways to drain fluid from around the heart after bypass surgery. It may help prevent fluid buildup and reduce recovery time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and having your first planned heart bypass surgery.
- Your heart pumps blood well (ejection fraction is 35% or higher).
- You have not had atrial fibrillation or other major heart rhythm problems before.
- You are not on blood thinners that cannot be stopped for surgery.
- You do not have active infections or lung problems that could affect drainage.

This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
This trial looks at whether the amount of fat around your belly (visceral adiposity) increases the chance of developing an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) after planned coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to help doctors predict and prevent this complication.
This trial studies different surgical techniques for treating atrial fibrillation during heart surgery. It may help people with a history of AFib who are already scheduled for open-heart surgery.
This trial tests whether using a blood thinner in people with new, temporary atrial fibrillation after CABG (heart bypass surgery) can reduce harmful outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help prevent stroke or other complications if your rhythm problem fits the trial’s timing and risk profile.
This study looks at whether a small heart-pacing wire can help doctors decide if you need extra fluids after heart surgery. It is being tested in patients recovering in the intensive care unit (ICU).
This study tests a method to see if your body needs more fluids during heart bypass surgery. After the surgeon opens your chest, they will use a special breathing maneuver to check how well your heart responds to extra fluid, which may help guide your care.
