Feeding system for infant heart surgery recovery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new feeding system to help infants recover after heart surgery. If your baby needs heart surgery soon after birth, this may help improve their recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be having heart surgery within the first month of life.
- Your baby must be born at 35 weeks of pregnancy or later.
- Your baby should not have other major birth defects besides the heart problem.
- Your baby must not have had a serious brain injury.
- Your baby should not need a breathing machine for more than 4 weeks after surgery.
- Your baby cannot have certain genetic conditions like trisomy 13, 18, or 21, or a cleft lip or palate.

This study tests a feeding education program for infants with congenital heart disease who have trouble getting enough nutrition by mouth. The program helps caregivers learn how to support their baby's oral feeding after heart surgery.
This study tests a special high-energy formula for babies with congenital heart disease who are at nutritional risk. It aims to see if this feeding helps them grow and develop better before and after heart surgery.
This study looks at how to feed safely using tube or mouth feeding in newborns whose heart problem depends on a blood vessel staying open. It may help families by testing the best early feeding approach for these infants.
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 helps mothers of babies born with heart defects learn to breastfeed directly, even when the baby needs heart surgery in the first month of life. Researchers want to see if direct breastfeeding improves health outcomes for both mother and baby during this critical time.
