NCT ID NCT07212842
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new method to reduce fluid buildup and inflammation in 124 adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The method involves washing the blood with methylene blue during a filtering process. Researchers measured fluid levels and inflammation markers before, during, and after surgery to see if this approach helps patients recover better.
