Comparing heart-protecting solutions during bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two different heart-protecting solutions (cardioplegia) used during coronary bypass surgery to see which one causes less damage to the heart muscle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a first-time, elective (non-emergency) coronary bypass surgery.
- You have not had a heart attack in the past.
- Your heart's pumping function (ejection fraction) is not reduced.
- You are not having any other heart procedures combined with the bypass.

This study compares two different methods of protecting your heart during coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will use MRI scans to see which method keeps heart muscle healthier after surgery.
This trial compares two types of cardioplegia (a solution that stops your heart during surgery) to see which one leads to better outcomes. It is for adults undergoing major heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study compares two ways of using the heart-lung machine during bypass surgery to see which causes less inflammation and stress on the body. It may help doctors choose the best approach for future patients.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your arm) can help patients recover better after off-pump heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces complications and improves heart function.
This study follows patients who have a type of heart bypass surgery called 'beating heart' CABG, where a special Getinge device is used to keep the heart pumping during the operation. It helps doctors learn more about how well these devices work in real-world use.
This study compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in multiple heart arteries: a newer, less invasive technique (minimally invasive CABG) versus the traditional open-chest approach. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
