Comparing heart protection solutions during bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two different solutions used to protect the heart during bypass surgery. The goal is to see which one causes less damage to the heart muscle, which could help you recover better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery
- This is your first heart surgery
- You have not had a heart attack in the past
- Your heart's pumping function is not significantly reduced
- You are not having any other heart procedure done at the same time

This study tests whether adding a medication called adenosine to the heart-protection solution used during heart surgery helps protect the heart better. If you are having a planned valve replacement or coronary bypass, this could potentially improve your recovery.
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 heart bypass surgery to see which one causes less inflammation and stress on the body. If you are having planned heart bypass surgery, participating could help doctors understand how to reduce recovery side effects.
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 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.
