Cardiac output monitoring during aortic coarctation surgery in infants
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special heart monitor can help doctors track blood flow in babies having surgery to repair aortic coarctation (a narrowing of the main artery). The monitor may help guide treatment to keep the baby stable during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn or infant (up to 3 months old)
- Your baby must weigh between 2.5 and 3.5 kg (about 5.5 to 7.7 pounds)
- Your baby must be scheduled for surgery to repair aortic coarctation (a narrowing of the main artery)
- Your baby must be stable enough for anesthesia and surgery
- You must give written permission for your baby to take part

This study looks at how well the heart pumps right after bypass surgery and whether a special monitor can help predict problems. It may help doctors support patients better after surgery.
This study collects information from people diagnosed with aortic coarctation before or shortly after birth, to better understand the condition and improve care. It may be a fit if you or your child were diagnosed before or within one month of birth.
This trial compares two ways doctors monitor your body's circulation during colorectal surgery. One method tracks blood pressure; the other tracks how much blood your heart pumps. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.
This study looks at whether simple monitoring tools (like a pulse oximeter and a device on the forehead) can help doctors spot early signs that a child's heart is not pumping well after surgery for a congenital heart condition. The goal is to help doctors intervene sooner to prevent complications.
This study looks at how blood pressure readings from the arm compare to readings from the aorta during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine in children up to 3 years old. It aims to improve blood pressure monitoring during and after surgery.
This study uses heart ultrasound findings and related measurements to better understand blood flow in newborns with suspected blockage in the aortic arch. It may help doctors improve how they evaluate and manage coarctation of the aorta and similar heart narrowing.
