Testing safety of heart-lung machine tubes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two types of tubes used during heart surgery to connect you to a heart-lung machine. It aims to see if they work safely and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Your weight should be between 132 and 264 pounds (60–120 kg).
- You must be scheduled for a planned (not emergency) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine, such as bypass or valve surgery.
- You cannot have diabetes, blood clotting disorders, or active cancer.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have had prior heart surgery or need other major heart procedures at the same time.

This study is testing a special tube (cannula) placed in the groin artery during heart surgery to connect a heart-lung machine. It's for people who are scheduled for planned heart surgery and may be helped by this refined device.
This study tracks how well and safely a specialized tube (cannula) works when inserted into heart arteries during bypass surgery. Researchers will monitor patients after surgery to ensure the device performs as expected and causes no problems.
This study tests whether using a special catheter (thin tube) in the pulmonary artery during heart or aorta surgery helps doctors better manage your heart's function. The catheter measures pressures in your heart to guide treatment during surgery.
This study follows patients who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass) and a special tube called an aortic root cannula. Researchers will monitor how well the device works and whether it causes any problems during and after surgery.
This study measures how well blood flows through small vessels in your heart and under your tongue during open-heart surgery. It aims to better understand circulation in people having valve repair or aorta replacement with a heart-lung machine.
This study follows patients who need heart surgery with a special bypass machine to see how well and safely a small tube (vent catheter) works when placed in the heart during surgery. Researchers want to make sure this device performs as expected and doesn't cause problems.
