This study is testing a mobile surgical vehicle that can perform a common heart defect repair procedure without using X-ray radiation. The goal is to see if this mobile unit is as safe and effective as the standard hospital-based procedure. If successful, it could bring this spec…

This study is testing a new surgical method designed to reduce brain injury and thinking problems that can sometimes occur after heart bypass surgery. It will involve 380 adults scheduled for bypass surgery who will be randomly assigned to receive either the new technique or stan…

This study will use advanced imaging technology to compare how well two different types of heart stents help blood vessels heal in patients who have had a heart attack and are at high risk for bleeding. Researchers will follow 60 patients for one year to see which stent provides …

This study is testing whether a low daily dose of colchicine, an anti-inflammatory drug, can prevent blood clots from forming on new artificial heart valves after TAVR surgery. About 116 older adults (ages 60-85) who have had successful TAVR will be randomly assigned to take colc…

This study is testing a digital tool called a 'Smart Family Doctor' that uses AI to help people manage their health after heart surgery or stents. It aims to see if the app helps patients better control their blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. The trial will involve ab…

This study is testing a new way to guide a common heart valve replacement procedure. It will compare using only ultrasound imaging against the standard method that uses both ultrasound and X-rays. The goal is to see if the ultrasound-only method works just as well while potential…

This study is testing a robotic system designed to help doctors perform heart stent procedures (PCI) for coronary artery disease. Researchers will compare the robot to human operators to see if it is safe, effective, and can reduce procedure time and radiation exposure for both d…

This study tests whether having a real-time online team of heart specialists make treatment decisions during a patient's heart scan leads to better outcomes than standard care. It involves 1,350 adults with both diabetes and severe blockages in all three main heart arteries. The …

This study is testing a new AI tool called SCOUT that acts as a 'safety net' for AI-generated heart disease diagnoses. It checks the AI's work for uncertainty and only sends the tricky cases to doctors for review. The goal is to see if this saves doctors time on paperwork without…

This study aims to create and test a computer tool that uses artificial intelligence to predict which patients are at high risk for serious kidney problems in the weeks following heart surgery. Researchers will use data from 820 patients to build the tool, hoping it helps doctors…

This study is testing a new computer tool designed to help doctors quickly and accurately diagnose different types of heart attacks and chest pain. The tool reads the initial notes doctors write when a patient is admitted to the hospital. Researchers will check if the tool's diag…

This study aims to find out which of two advanced heart scan methods is better at guiding treatment for people with blocked heart arteries. About 1,400 participants with a significant artery blockage will be randomly assigned to have their treatment decisions guided by either a s…

This study aims to see if closing a small pouch in the heart during valve surgery can prevent silent strokes. It will involve 100 adults without atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for heart valve surgery. Researchers will use brain scans after surgery to check for silent brain…

This study aims to track 6,000 Chinese patients who have both coronary heart disease and a specific type of leaky heart valve caused by poor blood flow (ischemic mitral regurgitation). Researchers will follow these patients for two years to understand their disease characteristic…

This study aims to create a better tool to predict which elderly patients with heart artery blockages might benefit most from procedures to open those arteries. Researchers will follow 800 patients aged 70+ for two years, using heart scans, blood tests, and measures of frailty to…

This study aims to improve the quality of heart bypass surgeries by helping hospitals use better artery grafts more often. It will provide training and support to surgical teams at 8,700 hospitals, focusing on increasing the use of durable artery grafts instead of vein grafts. Th…

This study aims to understand if a person's muscle health can predict their risk of sudden cardiac death. Researchers will observe 421 patients who have a defibrillator implanted, collecting data on their muscle strength, body scans, and blood markers. Using artificial intelligen…

This study aims to see if personalized video feedback from an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help heart surgeons improve their technical skills during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Participating surgeons will submit a video of their surgery, receive AI …
