Comparing two types of iron for heart surgery patients with anemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special form of iron (sucrosomial iron) to help people with low hemoglobin after heart surgery. It aims to find the right dose to improve recovery during rehabilitation.
This trial tests a combined treatment plan to improve anemia (low blood count/iron levels) before and around the time of major elective heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and support safer recovery.
This trial is testing whether giving iron plus vitamin C before heart surgery can reduce the need for blood transfusions. It is for people with low iron and anemia who are scheduled for bypass or valve surgery.
This study looks at long-term results of giving iron before major heart surgery to people with low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment helps recovery and outcomes.
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.
