Blood vessel complications after non-heart surgery in older patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study follows patients aged 65 and older who have non-heart, non-brain surgery to see how common blood vessel problems (like heart attacks or strokes) are after surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent these complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years of age or older
- You had surgery that did not involve your heart or brain
- You received any type of anesthesia (general, spinal, or local)
- You expect to stay in the hospital for at least 3 days after surgery
- You do not have a pacemaker, hearing aid in your left ear, or certain other implants
- You do not have a history of dementia or an allergy to adhesive

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether certain patients have heart muscle injury (called MINS) after major liver or bile duct surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, your doctors will check your heart with a special blood test before and after. The goal is to find out who is at risk and help prevent problems.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
This study checks whether close monitoring of vital signs around the time of non-cardiac surgery can help identify small heart injuries (called perioperative myocardial infarction or injury). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk sooner, especially after certain major surgeries.
This study looks at ways to reduce blood vessel–related problems (like stroke or heart strain) around the time of planned same-day, non-heart surgery. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part in a specific prevention plan during and around your operation.
This study looks at how inflammation and brain-related substances in the blood after surgery are linked to confusion (delirium) in older adults. It aims to find early warning signs to prevent this common complication.
This study looks at how blood flow to the brain changes during heart surgery and whether it relates to confusion after surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent confusion in older patients.
