Heart surgery warning: thin vessel layer may predict deadly complications

NCT ID NCT04643535

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aimed to see if measuring the glycocalyx—a thin, protective layer inside blood vessels—before heart surgery could predict serious problems like shock, kidney failure, or death. Researchers planned to include 130 adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
