CABG

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

This study tests a device called CA330 that filters blood during heart surgery to reduce severe bleeding. It includes 120 adults on blood thinners who need non-elective heart surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the filter plus standard care or standard c…

This study tests whether placing soft foam dressings on the skin before heart surgery can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores). About 80 adults having long heart surgeries will be enrolled. Researchers will check for new skin injuries after surgery and track how severe they are. …

This study tests whether taking a low dose of colchicine (0.5 mg) every day for two years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can prevent the new blood vessel grafts from failing. About 622 adults who just had bypass surgery will be randomly assigned to get either colchi…

This study will test two different surgical techniques used during heart bypass surgery to see which one better prevents a common complication called atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). The trial will involve 122 adults having their first planned bypass surgery. Researcher…

This study compares two types of exercise—elliptical training and Swiss ball aerobics—to see which better helps people recover after heart bypass surgery (CABG). Researchers will measure improvements in walking ability, heart rate, shortness of breath, and quality of life. The st…

This study tests whether adding a special breathing exercise device (IMT Threshold) to standard rehab can help people recover faster after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The goal is to reduce time in the hospital and prevent serious breathing complications like pneumonia. …

This study tests whether avoiding opioids during heart bypass surgery helps elderly patients recover faster. Sixty patients aged 65 and older will receive either opioid-free anesthesia with dexmedetomidine and ketamine or standard opioid-based anesthesia. The goal is to see if th…

This study will follow 600 people who need either bypass surgery (CABG) or a stent (PCI) to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers will test memory and thinking skills before the procedure and again at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years after. The goal is to see if one approach leads…

This study will follow 300 people having planned coronary bypass surgery to see if the amount of belly fat they carry affects their risk of developing atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) after the operation. Before surgery, doctors will use ultrasound to measure t…
