Checking a drainage tube used during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is checking how safe and effective a special drainage tube (vent catheter) is when used during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. By taking part, you help ensure the device works well for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having heart surgery using a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass), and the doctor plans to use a vent catheter during the surgery.
- You have given permission for your medical data to be used for research and education.
- You do not have damaged or abnormal tissue where the catheter will be placed.
- You do not have blood clots or abnormal growths in your heart or major blood vessels.
- You have not taken part in another clinical trial in the last 30 days.

This study looks at how well a special tube (aortic root cannula) works and how safe it is during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to make sure the device is safe and effective for patients.
This study compares two methods—visual checks and a special ultrasound of the heart—to see which better predicts how well the heart will pump after bypass machine support is removed during elective heart surgery.
This study follows patients during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine to see if a special tube (coronary perfusion cannula) works well and is safe. The tube helps keep blood flowing to the heart during surgery, and the study will help doctors understand how it performs in real patients.
This study tests two types of tubes used during heart surgery to connect you to a heart-lung machine. It aims to see if they work safely and effectively.
This study tests whether using a special monitor in the heart (pulmonary artery catheter) during surgery helps doctors care for patients better. It is for adults having heart or major chest surgery, but does not include very high-risk emergency cases.
This trial tests a new device that measures heart function closely after heart surgery. It may help doctors give better care if you are in the heart intensive care unit after your operation.
