Cardiac Surgery and Perioperative Medicine
The clinical research activity is centered on patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation, reflecting a focus on the perioperative period and surgical care in a hospital setting.
- Elective cardiac surgery
- Extracorporeal circulation
- Perioperative care
Interest in this area is directed toward complications arising around major cardiovascular procedures.
Acute Kidney Injury
The trial portfolio includes research on cardiac-surgery associated acute kidney injury, with attention to renal complications that develop in the context of operative cardiovascular care.
- Cardiac-surgery associated acute kidney injury
- Renal injury
- Postoperative kidney complications
This area addresses kidney outcomes linked to surgical stress and circulatory support.
Metabolic and Renal Protection
Research interest also extends to the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in the perioperative setting, with emphasis on renal protection during cardiac surgery.
- SGLT2 inhibitors
- Empagliflozin
- Renoprotective therapy
The therapeutic focus combines metabolic modulation with prevention of kidney injury in surgical patients.
