NCT ID NCT06800781
First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether keeping a special drainage tube in the chest for up to three days after heart surgery can lower the chance of developing a fast, irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. About 624 adults having routine heart surgery will be randomly assigned to get the tube plus standard care, or standard care alone. The goal is to see if this simple, low-risk method can prevent a common complication and reduce hospital stays.
