Watch study for newborns suspected of aortic arch blockage
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses heart ultrasound findings and related measurements to better understand blood flow in newborns with suspected blockage in the aortic arch. It may help doctors improve how they evaluate and manage coarctation of the aorta and similar heart narrowing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is less than 1 month old
- An echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) shows possible or definite aortic arch blockage (or narrowing)
- Your baby is admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU)
- Your baby’s care team agrees to ask you, and you (or your parent/guardian) choose to sign informed consent
- Your baby does not have known MRSA or VRE bacteria (resistant germs)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether a special heart monitor can help doctors track blood flow in babies having surgery to repair aortic coarctation (a narrowing of the main artery). The monitor may help guide treatment to keep the baby stable during and after surgery.
This study collects information from people diagnosed with aortic coarctation before or shortly after birth, to better understand the condition and improve care. It may be a fit if you or your child were diagnosed before or within one month of birth.
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study uses heart MRI (CMR) to measure how stiff the aorta is in people with aortic coarctation (a narrowing of the main artery). It aims to see if stiffness relates to the severity of the narrowing, which may guide treatment decisions.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
