CT scan of heart arteries in children with congenital heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age: 1 day to 18 years old
- Has a congenital heart disease (a heart problem from birth)
- Is scheduled for heart surgery to fix the defect
- Has not had any previous heart surgery
- Does not have only an isolated abnormal coronary artery (a rare, separate condition)
- Has never had Kawasaki disease or other medical condition affecting the coronary arteries

This study tests a new way to use CT scans to look at both the structure of your heart arteries and how well blood flows through them. It may help doctors get a more complete picture of coronary artery disease without extra procedures.
This study uses a special CT scan to take detailed images of your heart muscle. The goal is to see how well this scan can identify heart problems like inflammation or scarring.
This study uses a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to look at plaque and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease. It may help match your scan results with heart measurements and guide future care decisions.
This study tests whether a newer CT scan method can better detect coronary heart disease. You may qualify if your doctor referred you for a heart CT scan.
This study uses MRI scans to get detailed images of the heart in infants and children who have or might have congenital heart disease. It aims to help doctors see heart problems more clearly.
This study looks at whether people with adult congenital heart disease can skip a pre-surgery artery test (coronary angiography) if they already had a CT scan. If you qualify, you might help doctors find safer, simpler ways to prepare for heart surgery.
