Using heart scans to plan a support pump in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a way to help doctors assess babies and children with congenital heart disease and heart failure before placing a temporary heart support pump. It may help improve planning by using heart scans to decide who needs support and how to prepare.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must weigh more than 3 kilograms (about 6.6 pounds).
- You have congenital heart disease with heart failure (CHD-HF).
- Your doctors are considering you for a heart support pump (mechanical circulatory support).
- You must be able to have a CMR scan (a heart MRI scan).
- You must be able to have a cardiac CT scan (a special CT scan of the heart).

This study uses MRI scans to look at heart problems in babies and children. It may help doctors understand the heart's structure better without using X-rays.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to create detailed 3D maps of the heart's electrical activity in people with congenital heart disease. It aims to help guide procedures like heart catheterization or device implantation, potentially making them safer and more personalized.
This study tests a new non-invasive device called UltraTrac that measures how well the heart pumps blood in people with congenital heart disease. It will be used during standard heart procedures or intensive care stays to see if it works as well as current methods.
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 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 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.
