Comparing heart surgery methods for newborns with complex heart defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests new surgical strategies for newborns with certain complex heart conditions. It aims to see which techniques lead to better recovery and quality of life in the first year after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby has one of these heart conditions: TAPVC, CoA/IAA, TGA, PA/IVS, or severe PS (as diagnosed by echocardiogram before birth or after delivery).
- You and your family are willing to follow the study closely, including signing a consent form and completing all follow-up visits and tests for one year.
- Your baby was born at or after 36 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby weighs at least 2.5 kilograms (about 5.5 pounds).
- Your baby does not have other major birth defects outside the heart or complex heart problems that would affect the study.
- Your baby's breathing and heart function are stable enough that they do not need emergency surgery right away.

This study tracks how children and adults with complex heart defects fare after surgery. Researchers want to understand what surgical techniques work best at different ages and how patients recover long-term.
This trial tests a coordinated treatment plan for newborns with critical congenital heart disease, starting before birth and continuing after delivery. It aims to improve outcomes for babies who need two-ventricle repair surgery.
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 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 to improve care for babies with serious heart defects, both before and after birth. It brings together pregnancy and newborn care to help identify and treat these heart problems as early as possible.
This study records newborn heart measurements (using medical imaging) to compare babies with certain congenital heart defects to healthy-term babies. The goal is to see how well one test matches another, which may help doctors better understand heart conditions in newborns.
