Butyric acid supplement for gut health after heart surgery in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a supplement called butyric acid can help protect the gut during recovery from heart surgery in children. It aims to see if it reduces gut problems after surgery.

This study tests whether giving vitamin C to children under 2 during corrective heart surgery helps them recover better and have shorter hospital stays. If your child is eligible, they would receive vitamin C as part of their care.
This trial tests whether giving two natural supplements, butyrate and taurine, after heart surgery can reduce long-term pain that sometimes develops after surgery. If you're having planned heart surgery, it might help prevent that ongoing pain.
This study tests if a supplement called butyrate can help improve gut health in children aged 3-6 who have autism and ongoing stomach problems like constipation or bloating. It aims to see if this treatment eases their digestive symptoms.
This trial studies a nutrition plan given around the time of heart surgery for babies with congenital heart disease. It may help improve how babies grow and recover by supporting feeding before and after the operation.
This study looks at whether taking two natural supplements, propionate and butyrate, can improve the health of your intestines. It is for healthy adults who are not currently taking these supplements.
This trial tests whether giving butyrate enemas (a liquid that helps the gut lining heal) after surgery for Hirschsprung's disease can help the bowel work better sooner. It might reduce the time your baby needs to recover bowel movements after the operation.
