Nutrition support before and after heart surgery for babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a nutrition plan given around the time of heart surgery for babies with congenital heart disease. It may help improve how babies grow and recover by supporting feeding before and after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a special high-energy formula for babies with congenital heart disease who are at nutritional risk. It aims to see if this feeding helps them grow and develop better before and after heart surgery.
This program teaches parents how to help their babies who have heart problems learn to feed by mouth. It may help babies gain weight and go home sooner after heart surgery.
This trial tests a coordinated treatment plan for newborns with critical congenital heart disease, starting before birth and continuing after delivery. It aims to improve outcomes for babies who need two-ventricle repair surgery.
This study compares two ways of boosting calories in young children with congenital heart disease who are underweight: a high-calorie diet versus a high-calorie formula (drink). The goal is to see which approach helps them gain weight better and supports their growth.
This study aims to support families whose young children (ages 1-3) are about to have heart surgery for a congenital heart condition. It uses a special approach to help families feel more prepared and empowered during the surgical process.
This study helps mothers of babies born with heart defects learn to breastfeed directly, even when the baby needs heart surgery in the first month of life. Researchers want to see if direct breastfeeding improves health outcomes for both mother and baby during this critical time.
