New device aims to filter out dangerous inflammation during heart surgery
NCT ID NCT06512623
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a device called HA-380® that filters inflammatory substances from the blood during heart-lung bypass in complex cardiac surgeries. Forty-one adults undergoing high-risk procedures like heart transplants or aortic dissection repairs were enrolled. The goal was to see if the device could reduce organ failure and improve recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Hemoadsorption device (HA-380® cartridge)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this device could reduce inflammation-related organ failure after complex heart surgery, potentially shortening hospital stays and improving survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with only 41 patients, so results may not apply broadly. The device may not show clear benefit over standard care.

Planned for one of the following cardiac surgical procedures: heart transplantation after L-VAD (left ventricular assist device) implantation, OR surgical repair of a type A aortic dissection, OR urgent (within a few days) or emergent (within 24 hours) procedure for acute infectious endocarditis, OR cardiac surgery likely to require \>180 min CPB time as estimated by the surgical team 3.
