Kidney protection during heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether monitoring oxygen levels in back muscles during heart surgery can help predict and prevent kidney damage. It may help doctors protect your kidneys during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older and scheduled for elective off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.
- You can understand the study and give written consent.
- Your back muscle depth at a specific spot is less than 2 cm (measured by ultrasound before surgery).
- You do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR below 30), a kidney transplant, or a single kidney.
- You are not having emergency surgery or surgery with another department.
- You do not have active bleeding, infection, or a BMI over 30.

This trial tests if kidney ultrasound and urine oxygen levels can predict acute kidney injury after open heart surgery. It aims to help doctors catch kidney problems early.
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
This trial tests a targeted way to manage blood pressure before and after off-pump heart bypass surgery, with the goal of reducing acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems). It may help some people by lowering stress on the kidneys during and right after surgery.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in your kidneys during heart surgery. The goal is to see if these readings can help predict kidney problems after surgery.
