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 trial tests if mild cooling during heart bypass surgery can help protect the brain from damage. It compares cooling to normal body temperature in people having planned coronary artery bypass 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 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 compares two ways of managing blood pressure during heart bypass surgery without a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if a more targeted approach can improve recovery and reduce complications.
This trial compares different strategies for keeping a specific blood pressure level during heart-lung bypass surgery. It may help reduce complications by finding the safest blood pressure target during the operation.
