Heart surgery device gets a safety check in new study
NCT ID NCT07628920
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will look at how a vent catheter performs and stays safe when used during heart surgery that requires a heart-lung machine. The device helps drain blood from the heart to prevent damage. Researchers will track 45 patients and rate things like bleeding, ease of use, and whether the device keeps its shape. The goal is to make sure the catheter works as intended after it has already been approved for use.
