Heart surgery study peers into blood Vessel's 'Sugary Shield'
NCT ID NCT02853682
First seen Jun 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026
Summary
This study looked at a thin sugar-and-protein layer inside blood vessels, called the glycocalyx, which helps control fluid leakage. In 28 heart surgery patients, researchers measured proteins from this layer in blood samples. The goal was to better understand why fluid leaks out during surgery, which can cause swelling and harm organs. No treatment was tested; this was purely an observation study.
