NCT ID NCT06027788

First seen May 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a special tube (CardioGard Embolic Protection Cannula) that may catch debris during high-risk heart valve surgery, potentially preventing strokes, kidney injury, and confusion after the operation. About 842 adults aged 60 and older having certain heart valve procedures will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard tube or the CardioGard device. The main goal is to see if the device reduces the number of patients who have a stroke or kidney injury within 3 days, and death or delirium within 7 days after surgery.
