First seen Apr 18, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looked at 60 heart surgery patients to see how two types of heart-lung machines affect blood flow in the smallest blood vessels. One method was a newer, less invasive approach, and the other was the standard method. The goal was simply to observe and compare, not to provide a new treatment.
