Protecting kidneys during aneurysm surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a simple technique done before surgery can protect your kidneys during open surgery for a bulging blood vessel in your belly. It might reduce the risk of kidney damage after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a bulging blood vessel (aneurysm) in your belly that needs open surgery.
- The aneurysm is near the kidneys and the surgeon will clamp the aorta above the kidneys during surgery.
- You are not on dialysis.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or of childbearing potential without effective birth control.
- You are not taking certain medications (nicorandil or glibenclamide).
- You can understand and sign a consent form.

This study tests a new medicine, BX-001N, to see if it can prevent kidney damage during and after heart surgery for aortic disease. It is for people with moderate kidney problems who are having planned surgery that stops the heart briefly.
This study looks at ways to protect the brain during surgery on the aortic arch, which is the curved part of the main artery from the heart. The goal is to reduce the risk of brain damage during this complex operation.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches to repair a life-threatening tear or bulge in the large artery that carries blood from the heart (aorta). The study will help doctors determine which technique is safer and works better for patients needing this complex surgery.
This trial tests a modified stent graft for treating aneurysms that are located near the kidneys (juxtarenal). It aims to see if this doctor-customized approach works well for patients who have certain sizes or symptoms, including emergency cases.
This study tests if a simple arm-leg blood pressure cuff procedure before surgery can help protect organs during emergency repair of a torn aorta. It may reduce complications and improve recovery after surgery.
