Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this observational study is to collect health data on people who are at high risk of having heart complications and are having a surgery that is not on the heart. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is this study feasible in terms of recruiting enough people to participate in this study?
  • How often do heart complications happen in people who are at high risk of heart complications and are having a surgery that is not on the heart?

Participants will have their usual care and will also be asked to:

  • Have extra bloodwork done
  • Complete some surveys
  • Have two echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart)
  • Continue to follow-up with the research team for one year after their surgery

Researchers will compare how often heart complications occur in this high risk population to a future study where participants will receive stem cells before their surgery.

Full description

This observational trial protocol is to collect baseline health data from participants undergoing intermediate to high-risk surgery and at high risk of developing perioperative myocardial ischemic complications for an upcoming Phase 1 trial that determines the feasibility of intravenous delivery of umbilical cord-derived (UC) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the same patient population. Participants enrolled in this protocol, however, will not receive cell product; they will receive standard of care and serve as a lead in control group for the interventional study.
