NCT ID NCT07358221

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will compare three different fluids used to protect the heart during coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will measure tiny particles and immune system markers in the blood to see which fluid causes the least heart muscle injury. The goal is to find the safest approach for patients undergoing this common heart procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cardioplegia solutions (St. Thomas' cold crystalloid, Calafiore warm blood, modified del Nido cold blood)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons choose the best heart-protection method during bypass surgery, potentially reducing heart damage.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study (30 people) that measures biological markers, not patient outcomes. The results may not change practice directly.
