Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT06526195Recruiting
A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.

Pulmonary valve procedure to improve blood flow issues
This trial studies a transcatheter pulmonary valve (a valve placed through a catheter) in people whose right-sided outflow tract valve/conduit is not working well. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce pressure problems, while checking safety and results after the procedure.

Improving care for adults with congenital heart disease
This study aims to improve care for adults with congenital heart disease. If you join, researchers will work to better understand your needs and help enhance your treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05386173Recruiting
Tests fetal aortic valve balloon surgery for severe narrowing
This trial studies whether doing a procedure before birth to open a baby’s aortic valve improves outcomes. It compares this approach in a specific group of pregnancies with severe heart flow problems seen on ultrasound.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT05610787Enrolling by invitation
Testing a device that helps move an EXCOR pediatric heart pump
This trial studies an “active driving” system that controls the EXCOR pediatric heart pump. It’s meant for children who need a heart pump as a bridge to heart transplantation, to help the pump work more safely and effectively.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT06080074RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency heart-lung machine study for children with severe heart failure
This study tests a specific heart-lung machine called Cardiohelp to help children with severe heart failure. It looks at how well the machine works and whether a blood thinner (either heparin or bivalirudin) is safer and more effective.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges birth–16 years - NCT03149341Enrolling by invitation
MRI and computer-heart simulations for heart disease
This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02852031Recruiting
Care program for newborns needing the Norwood procedure
This trial focuses on improving care for babies born with certain complex heart conditions where only one pumping chamber works. It is meant for babies (including unborn babies) who are planned to have the Norwood procedure, which is a common early surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 1.3 years - NCT06153459Recruiting
Delayed cord clamping for babies with heart disease
This study looks at how long to wait before clamping the umbilical cord in babies born with a heart condition. It helps doctors understand the best timing for these newborns.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 9 months–10 months - NCT07525843Recruiting
Well-being education program for teens with heart disease
This study tests whether a special education program about managing emotions and stress helps teenagers with moderate-to-severe congenital heart disease (a heart condition from birth) feel better and cope with their condition. Participants attend sessions and complete surveys over time.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 12–17 - NCT07114718Recruiting
Stent for babies with heart defect needing extra blood flow
This trial tests a special stent for babies with a heart defect that needs a temporary blood vessel to stay open. The stent is placed to help blood flow to the lungs until the baby can have a more permanent surgery.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 1 minute–6 months - NCT04141605Enrolling by invitation
Heart transplant candidates matched for better heart preservation
This study creates a worldwide registry and information database to help improve how donor hearts are preserved for transplant. If you are a heart transplant candidate, your details may be recorded to see what matching and preservation approaches work best.

What taking part in a congenital heart disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
