Heart surgery patients may get a simple iron boost to beat anemia
NCT ID NCT07238972
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a single dose of intravenous iron the day after heart surgery can reduce the chance of long-term anemia. About 180 adults with low iron or anemia before surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the iron treatment or a placebo. The main goal is to see how many patients still have anemia 6 months after surgery.
