Heart imaging after the arterial switch operation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have had a specific heart surgery called the arterial switch operation (ASO) for a congenital heart defect. Researchers will use advanced imaging to see how the heart is doing and predict future health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with TGA or TBA (which are types of congenital heart defects where the two main arteries are reversed).
- You have had the arterial switch operation (ASO), a type of heart surgery to correct the defect.
- You did NOT have other types of heart surgeries like the Rastelli, Nikaidoh, or atrial switch (Mustard or Senning) procedures.
- You did NOT have a Fontan operation.
- The ASO was your first major corrective surgery, not a fix for an earlier operation.

This trial tests new surgical strategies for newborns with certain complex heart conditions. It aims to see which techniques lead to better recovery and quality of life in the first year after surgery.
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.
This study looks at people who have had a stroke and also had a heart procedure shortly before or after. It tests whether the timing of heart procedures and stroke care affects recovery.
This trial studies how well the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) recovers after surgery to fix a leaky aortic valve. It is for people who also have a leaky mitral valve and an enlarged left ventricle, and who are having their first planned valve surgery.
This trial studies a surgery approach to help fix a narrowed or leaking aortic valve in children. It aims to see how well the reconstructed valve works and how it affects the child’s heart function over time.
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.
