NCT ID NCT07612709

First seen Jun 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether using only one lung for breathing during heart surgery (while the heart-lung machine handles circulation) can reduce fluid buildup and lung damage in patients at high risk for complications. About 45 adults over 65 having major elective heart surgery will be enrolled. Researchers will compare the ventilated lung to the non-ventilated one using ultrasound, X-rays, and other measures to see if this approach is protective.
