Heart surgery planning for children with heart defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a heart simulator to help doctors plan surgery for children with certain heart defects. It may help make surgery safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a child between 0 and 17 years old.
- You must have one of these heart conditions: congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with a ventricular septal defect, double outlet right ventricle with a ventricular septal defect, or another single ventricle condition.
- You must not be an adult with heart disease.

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 trial tests a digital exercise program to help children aged 6 to 12 recover after heart surgery for congenital heart disease. The program is designed to be safe and fun, aiming to improve strength and overall 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 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 uses a CT scan to look at the heart's coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle) in children who are about to have heart surgery for congenital heart disease. The goal is to better understand these arteries before surgery to help guide treatment.
This study tracks how children and adults with complex heart defects fare after surgery. Researchers want to understand what surgical techniques work best at different ages and how patients recover long-term.
