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.
This study looks at the best treatment plan for people with a specific type of hole in the heart wall that affects the right side of the heart. It may help doctors choose an approach based on how well it works for patients who need treatment.
This study follows babies ages 1 month to 2 years who have a large hole in their heart (VSD) that affects how their heart works. Researchers want to see if closing this hole helps babies catch up on normal growth and weight gain after surgery.
This trial compares getting a heart stent before versus after non-cardiac surgery for people with stable or moderate-risk heart disease who need a time-sensitive operation like tumor removal. It aims to find the safest timing to prevent heart problems while not delaying necessary surgery.
