Heart injury risk after major liver or bile duct surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- Your surgery is expected to take 3 hours or more and involves removing at least 3 liver segments or rebuilding bile ducts.
- You will be in the ICU after surgery.
- You have not had a recent heart attack, unstable chest pain, heart failure, or severe kidney disease.
- Your doctor knows how blood flow to the liver will be managed during surgery.

This trial tests adding heart-protective medications after noncardiac surgery to see if they can prevent further heart injury. It may help people who had a heart injury after surgery that was not caused by another problem like infection.
This study looks at how often heart or blood vessel problems happen after surgery that is not on the heart. If you are 65 or older and will stay in the hospital for at least 3 days after your surgery, you may help doctors learn how to better prevent these problems.
This study compares two surgical positions (lying on your back vs. lying on your stomach) during a procedure to remove kidney stones. It checks whether the position affects the risk of minor heart muscle injury after surgery.
This study tests whether a low-cost, anti-inflammatory drug called colchicine can reduce heart complications after major non-heart surgery. If you have heart or blood vessel risk factors and are scheduled for a major operation, this trial may help protect your heart.
This study checks blood and other lab “biomarkers” during the time before and after major surgeries to see if they can help guide perioperative care. You might be eligible if you are having certain planned heart, lung, GI, or blood-vessel surgeries and can give informed consent.
This study follows patients undergoing bypass surgery for chest pain to track heart injury before, during, and after the operation. It may help doctors better understand and prevent heart complications during this type of surgery.
