This study looks at whether adding vitamin C, omega-3s, lignin, and lactulose to standard care can improve recovery in 108 adults after heart bypass surgery. Participants take the supplements daily for 10 weeks starting two weeks after surgery. The goal is to see if this combinat…

This study tests a device called CA330 that is used during heart surgery to filter the blood. The goal is to see if it can lower the risk of severe bleeding in patients who take blood thinners and need emergency heart surgery. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned to receive…

This study tests whether taking a low dose of colchicine (0.5 mg daily) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can reduce the chance of graft failure. About 622 adults who recently had bypass surgery will receive either colchicine or a placebo for 24 months. The main goal i…

This study tests two methods—a surgical window or a special drain—to prevent atrial fibrillation (a common irregular heartbeat) and other heart sac complications after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 122 adults having their first bypass will be randomly assigned to one of t…

This study tests whether placing soft foam dressings on the skin can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in adults having heart surgery. About 80 people will take part, and researchers will check their skin for sores before and after the operation. The goal is to see if this sim…

This study tests whether a special e-care protocol can shorten hospital stays and prevent breathing problems in people who have had coronary artery bypass surgery. About 42 adults over age 45 with stable circulation will take part. Researchers will check for lung complications da…

This study will compare two types of exercise—elliptical training and Swiss ball aerobics—to see which one better helps people recover after heart bypass surgery. Thirty-two adults aged 40 to 60 who had surgery 2 to 6 weeks ago will exercise three times a week for 6 to 8 weeks. R…

This study looks at whether avoiding opioids during anesthesia can help elderly patients recover faster after coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will compare opioid-free anesthesia to standard opioid-based anesthesia in 60 patients aged 65 and older. The goal is to see i…

This study looks at whether heart bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI) cause more long-term memory and thinking problems. Researchers will test 600 adults with computer-based brain games before their procedure and again at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years after. The goal is to help …

This study will observe 300 adults having planned heart bypass surgery to see if the amount of belly fat (measured by ultrasound before surgery) is linked to a higher chance of developing atrial fibrillation, a common irregular heartbeat, after the operation. The goal is to bette…
