Brain protection during heart bypass surgery study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether different circulatory support techniques during coronary artery bypass surgery affect blood flow to the brain. It may help find ways to protect brain function during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) heart bypass surgery
- You have an ASA physical status of II or III (a classification of your overall health before surgery)
- You will have your blood circulated outside your body during surgery (on-pump bypass)
- You can understand and sign a consent form

This study looks at how a certain way of delivering blood to the brain during surgery on the upper aorta affects eye pressure, which may indicate brain swelling. It may help doctors improve safety during these surgeries.
This study compares two ways of keeping your body temperature during heart surgery to see which one helps protect your brain. Half of the patients will be cooled slightly (mild hypothermia), and half will be kept at normal temperature, to see if cooling reduces the risk of brain injury.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
This trial tests a new way to monitor blood flow in the brain during heart bypass surgery. It may help patients who need coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a heart-lung machine.
This study compares two ways of managing blood pressure during heart bypass surgery to see which is better for patient outcomes. The goal is to help doctors choose the right blood pressure targets during surgery.
