Right heart function after lung lobe removal surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart handles the stress of having a lung lobe removed. It compares different surgery types (VATS, robotic, or open) and focuses on people with moderate to high heart and lung risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have a lung lobe (or two lobes) removed by VATS, robotic, or open surgery
- You have at least one of the following: high risk for anesthesia (ASA 3), low lung function with poor exercise ability, low heart/lung fitness score, heart disease, or heart failure
- You are able to give written consent at the time you enter the hospital
- You do not have a history of blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), severe lung artery pressure, or prior removal of a whole lung or lung lobe

This trial looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
This study tests a new way to measure how well the right side of the heart pumps blood while you are lying in different positions after heart surgery. It may help doctors assess your recovery more easily.
This study looks at how the right side of your heart handles the stress of lung surgery. By measuring heart pressures before and during surgery, doctors hope to better predict recovery and reduce risks.
This study compares how well patients recover their heart and lung fitness after two types of lung surgery: removing a whole lobe versus removing a smaller part of the lung. It may help doctors understand which surgery leads to better recovery.
This study looks at how well the right side of your heart works after mitral valve surgery, especially if you had high blood pressure in your lungs. The results may help doctors understand recovery and improve care for patients like you.
This study looks at how your immune system responds after heart surgery and whether it affects lung complications. It may help doctors find ways to prevent breathing problems after surgery.
