CABG

This study tests a device called CA330 that is used during heart surgery to filter the blood. The goal is to see if it can lower the risk of severe bleeding in patients who take blood thinners and need emergency heart surgery. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned to receive…

This study tests whether taking a low dose of colchicine (0.5 mg daily) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can reduce the chance of graft failure. About 622 adults who recently had bypass surgery will receive either colchicine or a placebo for 24 months. The main goal i…

This study tests whether adding Vitamin C, Omega-3 fatty acids, and other supplements to standard care can improve recovery in 108 adults after coronary artery bypass surgery. Participants will take the supplements daily for 10 weeks starting 15 days after surgery. The goal is to…

This study tests whether placing soft foam dressings on the skin can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in adults having heart surgery. About 80 participants will be followed for 5 days after surgery to see if the dressings reduce the number and severity of these injuries. The …

This study tests two techniques—a pericardial window and a retro-cardiac drain—to prevent atrial fibrillation and other heart sac complications after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 122 adults with good heart function will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to …

This study tests whether a special e-care protocol can help people recover faster after coronary artery bypass surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces time in the hospital and lowers the risk of breathing problems. About 42 adults over age 45 who have stable vital signs will ta…

This study looks at whether avoiding opioids during heart bypass surgery helps elderly patients recover faster. Sixty people aged 65 and older will receive either opioid-free or standard opioid anesthesia. The goal is to see if the opioid-free approach leads to earlier breathing …

This study looks at whether heart bypass surgery (CABG) causes more long-term memory and thinking problems than a less invasive stent procedure (PCI). Researchers will test 600 patients' brain function before and up to 2 years after their procedure. The goal is to help patients a…

This study will check if the amount of deep belly fat (visceral fat) measured before heart bypass surgery is linked to a higher chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) after the operation. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure belly fat in 300 adult…
