Carotid ultrasound before liver transplant surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether measuring the thickness of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck) before a planned liver transplant can help doctors predict and manage blood flow changes during surgery. It may help patients get safer care during their transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a scheduled (not emergency) liver transplant surgery
- You have already had a carotid artery ultrasound (CIMT) done before surgery
- You have signed a consent form agreeing to share your medical data

This study tests whether drinking a carbohydrate solution before planned liver transplant surgery helps patients recover better afterward. Researchers believe it may reduce complications and improve healing.
This study looks at factors that affect heart health after a liver transplant. It may help doctors better predict and manage heart problems in people with end-stage liver disease who are getting a new liver.
This trial compares two ways to monitor how well your heart is pumping during liver transplant surgery. One method uses a thin tube in your blood vessels, and the other uses an ultrasound probe placed in your food pipe.
This study uses a non-invasive ultrasound scan of the neck (carotid Doppler) to help predict whether you’ll benefit from extra IV fluids during major abdominal surgery. It aims to improve fluid management without placing extra invasive monitoring unless already planned.
This trial is testing a special ultrasound (called transcranial Doppler) to monitor blood flow during a procedure to open a narrowed carotid artery in your neck. The ultrasound helps doctors see if the procedure is safe and working well.
This study looks at blood flow in the carotid artery after surgery to remove plaque buildup. It may help doctors understand how well the artery heals after different surgical techniques.
