Comparing heart-lung machine methods for bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine during bypass surgery to see which causes less inflammation in the body. The goal is to help people recover faster and with fewer complications after heart surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 30 and 70 years old.
- You must be scheduled for elective (non-emergency) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
- Your surgery must use a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass) to keep your blood flowing during the procedure.
- You must not need emergency surgery, have had heart surgery before, or need additional valve surgery.
- You must not have kidney failure, liver failure, cancer, active infection, or an inflammatory disease.

This study compares two ways of managing the breathing machine during coronary bypass surgery — one that controls pressure and one that controls airflow — to see which better protects your lungs and diaphragm. If you are having this surgery, the results may help improve your recovery.
This trial compares a newer heart-lung machine setup (MiECC) with the usual bypass technique during certain heart operations. It may help see whether MiECC changes outcomes like the need for blood transfusions or recovery after surgery.
This study compares two surgical techniques for heart bypass: using the left internal thoracic artery in one specific way versus another. It may help improve how well the bypass works in people who need bypass surgery for multiple blocked heart arteries.
This study compares two ways of doing bypass surgery for blocked heart arteries: using only chest and arm arteries versus a mix of arteries and leg veins. The goal is to see which approach works better for long-term heart health.
This study compares two ways of using the heart-lung machine during heart bypass surgery to see which one causes less inflammation and stress on the body. If you are having planned heart bypass surgery, participating could help doctors understand how to reduce recovery side effects.
This study looks at patients having planned heart bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine to understand what factors affect their recovery. It helps doctors learn more about how to improve outcomes after surgery.
