Heart Simulator for Planning Children's Heart Surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a computer model of the heart to help doctors plan surgery for children with certain complex heart defects. It may help make the surgery safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or teenager (0 to 17 years old).
- You have been diagnosed with one of three specific heart conditions: cc-TGA with a hole between the lower chambers, DORV with a hole in the lower chambers that is far from the main arteries, or another single ventricle condition.
- This trial is not for adults (18 or older).

This study looks at how children prepare for heart surgery or a heart catheterization. It will ask families to fill out questionnaires to help improve preoperative care.
This study tests a digital (computer-based) exercise rehabilitation program for children aged 6–12 who have had heart surgery for congenital heart disease. The program aims to help children regain strength and fitness safely during recovery.
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.
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 a CT scan to look at the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply the heart) in children who have congenital heart disease and are about to have heart surgery. It aims to help surgeons plan the best approach.
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.
