Heart device safety check underway
NCT ID NCT07628907
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is checking how well a device called an aortic root cannula works and how safe it is during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. About 20 patients will be watched to see if there is any bleeding or other issues. The goal is to make sure the device is safe for regular use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- aortic root cannula (a device used during heart surgery to deliver fluids to the heart)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will confirm that this device is safe and works as intended for heart surgery patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 20 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. It is not testing a new treatment, just checking an existing device.

Who is studied
The aim of this study is not to prove a hypothesis defined by a specific objective-numerical expectation, but rather to compile the various outcomes resulting from the use of a medical device, using data obtained from all cases collected within a timeframe deemed clinically appropriate and sufficient. In this context, a minimum sample size is determined without considering an objective expectation or the Type I and Type II statistical errors accepted in the research. The sample will be formed by including participants such that even for the option with the fewest patients operated on-among the four options comprising two operative procedures and two cannula types-there will be at least 5 cases. Since the selection of the appropriate cannula is determined by the surgeon based on the patient's condition and characteristics, this sample will, to some extent, attempt to reflect real-world data on cannula use on a small scale.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who have consulted the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery and for whom the physician has decided to perform heart surgery using the cardiopulmonary bypass technique, * Patients for whom the use of an aortic root cannula is planned during surgery * Patients who, prior to surgery, have provided consent in the "Cardiovascular Surgery Department Information and Consent Form, Use of Patient Data for Educational and Research Purposes" section regarding the use of their data Exclusion Criteria: * Patients known to have hypersensitivity to any of the materials used in the device components (PVC, ABS, stainless steel) * Patients with calcified aorta, aortic valve insufficiency, occluded coronary arteries, the presence of adventitia or plaques, fibrosis in the aortic wall, or low arterial pressure Patients who have difficulty understanding the study and complying with it * Patients who may pose a conflict of interest (e.g., relatives of employees of sponsoring companies) * Patients who have participated in any clinical trial within the past 30 days
