Heart surgery patients get faster healing with own blood plasma
NCT ID NCT07352020
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether applying a patient's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the chest wound during heart surgery reduces infections and improves healing. 98 adults undergoing bypass surgery were randomly assigned to receive PRP or standard wound closure. Results showed that PRP may lower wound complications and hospital costs, but lifelong medication is not involved, so this is classified as disease control.
