Heart surgery blood pressure debate: which artery is best?
NCT ID NCT06952907
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether monitoring blood pressure through the femoral artery (in the groin) is better than the usual radial artery (in the wrist) during and after heart surgery. The goal is to see if femoral monitoring reduces the need for strong blood pressure medications and lowers complications. About 340 adults having planned heart surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If femoral monitoring proves better, it could lead to updated guidelines for blood pressure monitoring during and after heart surgery, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study. The results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the difference between the two methods might be small or nonexistent.
