Study of heart tissue changes during certain heart surgeries
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects and analyzes small samples of heart tissue during specific heart operations in babies or children. The goal is to better understand how the heart develops after birth, which could improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having an operation that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass)
- The surgery is to treat congenital heart problems (like a hole in the heart) or repair certain heart valves
- You have not had any previous heart surgery
- You do not have a past history of atrial fibrillation or other rhythm problems (arrhythmias) before this operation
- You have not had a history of heart failure

This study looks at how blood flow and heart rhythm may affect exercise ability in people born with certain heart defects that have been repaired or treated. It uses a specialized heart MRI and ultrasound measurements to better understand these problems and their causes.
This study looks at tiny particles from cells in newborns with heart defects to understand blood clot risks. It aims to find ways to prevent clots after heart surgery.
This study records newborn heart measurements (using medical imaging) to compare babies with certain congenital heart defects to healthy-term babies. The goal is to see how well one test matches another, which may help doctors better understand heart conditions in newborns.
This study looks at how a transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement works in people with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot or double outlet right ventricle. The goal is to better understand the heart’s anatomy and how it may affect the valve procedure.
This study looks at how the heart makes new muscle cells in babies under 1 year old who need heart surgery. Tissue that is normally removed during surgery will be studied to learn more about heart repair.
This study looks at tiny blood vessels in children with specific heart defects during surgery. It may help doctors better understand circulation and improve care.
