Ultrasound during heart bypass surgery to check blood flow
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound during heart bypass surgery to check blood flow in the new grafts and arteries. It aims to make sure the bypass is working well, which could help reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have elective (non-emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital.

This trial checks if a new way of measuring blood flow during heart bypass surgery helps improve outcomes. It's for people having planned (not emergency) bypass surgery for certain types of chest pain or heart attack.
This study looks at whether measuring blood flow in your kidneys with an ultrasound before surgery can help predict if you might develop kidney injury after your coronary bypass surgery. It's a way to see if your kidneys are more at risk so doctors can watch you more closely.
This study looks at tiny structures inside heart muscle cells (especially “power stations” in the cells) in people with certain types of heart failure who are getting coronary bypass surgery. It may help researchers better understand what changes happen in the heart and how this could guide future care.
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.
This study will collect ultrasound and flow images of the new blood vessels created during heart bypass surgery. The goal is to help doctors improve surgical outcomes.
This trial measures how blood flow changes in arteries feeding the kidney and gut while patients are on a heart-lung machine during heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and prevent organ damage after surgery.
