Comparing blood pressure medications after pulmonary endarterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two medications, vasopressin and norepinephrine, to see which one better controls blood pressure in the lungs after surgery to remove blockages from the lung arteries. The goal is to find a treatment that keeps the lung blood pressure stable while minimizing side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a pulmonary endarterectomy (surgery to remove blood clots from the lung arteries).
- If you are a woman who can have children, you must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use effective birth control.
- You must be covered by French social care service and be able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You must not have had emergency surgery, recent heart or intestinal blood flow problems, or be on certain blood pressure or heart-support medications before surgery.
- You must not have other planned heart surgeries at the same time, and your lung blood pressure must be high enough (at least 25 mmHg) before the surgery.

This trial compares two medications, vasopressin and noradrenaline, to see which one works better at raising blood pressure in patients who develop dangerously low blood pressure (vasoplegic syndrome) within the first day after heart surgery. The goal is to find the safest and most effective treatment to stabilize blood pressure and help recovery.
This study compares two medications used to manage blood pressure during complex spine surgery. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer for patients undergoing this type of procedure.
This trial tests whether three common blood pressure medicines (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) can help people who are hospitalized with a sudden worsening of pulmonary hypertension, a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to find a treatment that can stabilize patients during this dangerous time.
This trial tests how doctors manage blood pressure during major surgery using common medicines (norepinephrine or phenylephrine). It may help by improving safety for people at higher risk of blood pressure drops or complications during surgery.
This trial tests whether noradrenaline is better than standard care for preventing dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. If you are having non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least an hour and are expected to stay overnight, this study may be for you.
This study compares balloon pulmonary angioplasty versus pulmonary endarterectomy for people with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs due to long-lasting blood clots). It may help find which procedure works better for improving symptoms and lung circulation after treatment.
