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 study tests whether a combination of heart-protective medications (a blood thinner, a cholesterol medicine, and a blood pressure medicine) can help people who had a heart injury after non-cardiac surgery reduce their risk of future heart problems. It is a pilot study to see if this approach is practical and safe.
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.
This study looks at whether lying on your stomach or on your back during kidney stone removal surgery affects the chance of minor heart damage. If you're having this surgery and don't have known heart problems, you may qualify to help doctors learn the safest position.
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 for hidden heart damage after major abdominal surgery by measuring a blood marker called troponin. It uses this information to predict and improve outcomes in the 30 days after surgery.
This study checks if heart bypass surgery can cause hidden damage to the heart muscle. Participants will get MRI scans before and after surgery to help doctors find and care for this early.
