Heart Surgery Vent Catheter Safety and Performance Study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows patients who need heart surgery with a special bypass machine to see how well and safely a small tube (vent catheter) works when placed in the heart during surgery. Researchers want to make sure this device performs as expected and doesn't cause problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need heart surgery planned using cardiopulmonary bypass (a machine that does your heart and lung work during surgery)
- Your surgeon has already decided to use a vent catheter (small drainage tube) during your operation
- You must agree to let the hospital use your medical data for this research
- You cannot have diseased or abnormal tissue where the catheter would be placed
- You cannot have blood clots or unusual growths inside your heart or major blood vessels
- You haven't participated in another clinical trial in the last 30 days

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows patients who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass) and a special tube called an aortic root cannula. Researchers will monitor how well the device works and whether it causes any problems during and after surgery.
This study tracks how well and safely a specialized tube (cannula) works when inserted into heart arteries during bypass surgery. Researchers will monitor patients after surgery to ensure the device performs as expected and causes no problems.
This study tests whether using a special catheter (thin tube) in the pulmonary artery during heart or aorta surgery helps doctors better manage your heart's function. The catheter measures pressures in your heart to guide treatment during surgery.
This study looks at how ventilator (breathing machine) settings during heart bypass surgery may affect lung complications after surgery. Researchers will monitor your breathing machine data to understand the safest approach for your lungs during the operation.
This study follows patients who have a type of heart bypass surgery called 'beating heart' CABG, where a special Getinge device is used to keep the heart pumping during the operation. It helps doctors learn more about how well these devices work in real-world use.
This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
