First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving iron through a vein (IV) after heart surgery can help people with iron-deficiency anemia recover faster and spend fewer days in the hospital. About 60 adults having planned heart surgery will receive either IV iron or a placebo shortly after surgery, with a possible repeat dose at 42 days. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible, focusing on safety and patient enrollment.
