Ultrafast brain ultrasound for infants with heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to look at the brains of babies under 2 years old with serious heart problems. It aims to see if this method can provide better images to help doctors care for your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is under 2 years old.
- Your baby has a congenital heart disease (a heart problem they were born with).
- Your baby is in the heart intensive care unit at Bordeaux University Hospital.
- Your baby's soft spot on the top of their head (anterior fontanelle) is still open.
- Your baby has severe heart failure (cardiac shock) that needs a machine to help their heart pump blood (mechanical circulatory support).
- You have French social security coverage and agree to the trial.

This study tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to see heart structure and blood flow in children with or without congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to improve imaging without risk, using a short scan during a regular check-up.
This trial will test how using a quick bedside heart ultrasound (focused echo) can help doctors make better decisions for children who are critically ill in the pediatric ICU.
This study uses automated ultrasound measurements to track how a baby’s heart is working during pregnancy. It compares babies who have a specific congenital heart problem with babies without it, to understand what ultrasound can detect.
This Phase 3 study tests whether detailed ultrasound scans (with contrast and stiffness measurements) can help doctors assess a baby’s brain. It may help by improving how early brain changes are detected in newborn care settings.
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study tests how using a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) can help doctors better manage care for very sick newborns in the NICU. It may help guide treatment for babies who are unstable, regardless of their weight or how early they were born.
