Heart surgery recovery: new study looks at hidden blood flow problems
NCT ID NCT07052461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether fluid buildup in veins (congestion) affects blood flow in the smallest blood vessels after planned heart surgery. Researchers will monitor 40 adults in the ICU using ultrasound and other tools. The goal is to better understand these connections, not to test a new treatment.
