Surgery outcomes for complex heart defects across ages
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a complex congenital heart disease (a serious heart defect present from birth)
- You had or are planning to have heart surgery or a procedure during pregnancy
- You were enrolled in a Chinese national heart disease surgery database or are eligible to be
- You are willing to sign consent and attend follow-up visits regularly
- You don't have severe additional birth defects or serious other health problems that would make participation unsafe

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.
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 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 tests whether kids aged 8–18 who had complex heart surgery can safely improve their fitness and well-being using exercise activities at home through a mobile app or video. The goal is to help them become more active after surgery.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before heart surgery can help adults with congenital heart disease recover better. You would join an exercise class 2–3 times a week for several weeks leading up to your operation.
This study collects and shares anonymous information about adults being considered for a heart transplant because of a congenital (from birth) heart problem or an inherited heart muscle condition. The goal is to better understand these patients and support research that may improve care.
