CT scans for children with tetralogy of Fallot
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses CT scans to look at the hearts of children with tetralogy of Fallot, a heart defect present at birth. It aims to see how well CT can help doctors understand the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot.
- You do not have other heart defects besides tetralogy of Fallot.

This trial looks at newborns with Tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition present at birth. It aims to study the best way to treat these babies in the first month of life.
This study uses a CT scan to look at the heart's coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle) in children who are about to have heart surgery for congenital heart disease. The goal is to better understand these arteries before surgery to help guide treatment.
This study looks at how the pulmonary arteries (the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs) develop in children who had surgery for tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition present at birth. It aims to learn more about normal growth patterns, which could help doctors better care for other children with similar heart problems.
This study looks at how well the heart works after surgery for tetralogy of Fallot, a birth defect of the heart. It uses echo (ultrasound of the heart), ECG (a test that records the heart's electrical activity), and Holter monitoring (a portable device that tracks the heart's rhythm over time) to check for any problems or changes. If your child has had this repair, the results may help doctors understand what to expect and how to follow up.
This study looks at how your quality of life is affected after surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot, and whether heart muscle function measured on an MRI can predict how you feel. If you join, researchers will use your routine MRI results to see how well your heart is working and connect that to your daily life.
This trial is a registry that collects information about people who have had Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repaired. It may help doctors better understand long-term outcomes and improve future care.
