New brain monitoring tech could predict strokes during heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07202689
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using multiple brain monitoring tools together can help predict strokes in people having heart surgery. About 369 high-risk patients will be watched during surgery to see if the monitoring can give early warning. The goal is to find better ways to protect the brain and reduce stroke risk.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery * Presence of at least one of the following high-risk factors for stroke: a.Peripheral vascular disease (history of peripheral artery bypass grafting, amputation for ischemia, Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index \< 0.9, or history of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair).b.Cerebrovascular disease (history of stroke, transient ischemic attack, or carotid stenosis \>70%).c.Renal insufficiency (Glomerular Filtration Rate \< 60 mL/min/1.73m²).d.Diabetes mellitus (requiring oral hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin therapy).e.Urgent coronary artery bypass grafting (inpatient requiring revascularization due to acute coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction).f.Recent smoking history (within 1 year).g.Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 35% * Provision of signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (e.g., claustrophobia, inability to lie flat for the duration of the study, presence of a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or other metallic implants) * Inability to complete cognitive function assessments * Patients with psychiatric, legal disabilities or under legal guardianship * Life expectancy of less than 3 months * Women who are lactating or pregnant * Diagnosis of any type of dementia
