Nerve blocks slash pain after keyhole heart surgery
NCT ID NCT03743194
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether injecting a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) near the chest muscles could reduce pain after minimally invasive heart surgery. 210 adults having robot-assisted mitral valve repair took part. The main goal was to see if the nerve blocks improved a combined pain and side-effect score over the first three days after surgery.
