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.

- 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
