Measuring small blood vessels in kids having heart surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny blood vessels in children with specific heart defects during surgery. It may help doctors better understand circulation and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the heart) or tetralogy of Fallot (a heart condition with four defects).
- Your child does not have a blocked airway or a genetic condition affecting the mouth or tongue.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests an early, first-use version of a new pulmonary valve device for children whose own valve is not working well. It may help improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs and aims to learn how safe and effective the valve is over time.
This trial studies patterns in immune cells (neutrophils) in very young children who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. The goal is to better understand and potentially reduce lung injury after surgery.
This study looks at how a transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement works in people with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot or double outlet right ventricle. The goal is to better understand the heart’s anatomy and how it may affect the valve procedure.
This study looks at tiny particles from cells in newborns with heart defects to understand blood clot risks. It aims to find ways to prevent clots after heart surgery.
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 how the heart makes new muscle cells in babies under 1 year old who need heart surgery. Tissue that is normally removed during surgery will be studied to learn more about heart repair.
