NCT ID NCT07638124
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas during laparoscopic surgery could protect blood vessels and organs in 40 adults with heart disease. Half received the gas through their breathing tube during surgery, and half received standard care. Researchers measured markers of blood vessel health, kidney and gut injury, and recovery time to see if the gas had any protective effect.
