NCT ID NCT06697405
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 1,444 adults who had heart valve replacement using a heart-lung machine. Researchers wanted to see if spending more than 120 minutes on the machine raised the chance of gut complications. They compared patients with shorter and longer bypass times and tracked gut issues like bowel function and injury scores. The goal is to better understand risks and improve recovery after surgery.
