Brain blood flow monitoring during heart surgery may predict stroke risk
NCT ID NCT05786274
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether monitoring brain blood flow during heart surgery can help predict strokes afterward. Researchers will use non-invasive sensors to track how well the brain regulates its own blood supply during different phases of surgery. The goal is to develop a model that identifies patients at higher risk for stroke, potentially allowing doctors to take preventive steps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple monitoring method that helps doctors predict and prevent strokes after heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The predictive model may not be accurate enough for clinical use, and the results may not apply to all heart surgery patients.
