NCT ID NCT07630987

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will examine how the heart-lung machine used during cardiac surgery changes platelet function and metabolism. Researchers will take blood samples from 100 adult heart surgery patients at several time points. The goal is to link these platelet changes to post-surgery inflammation and bleeding complications.
