Heart Surgery Outcomes in Preschool-Age Children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares how children who had heart surgery (to fix a non-blue-baby heart problem) develop compared to healthy children the same age. Researchers want to understand how well children recover after their surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 6 years old (48–72 months)
- Your child had surgery to fix a non-cyanotic congenital heart defect (a heart problem they were born with that was not causing blue-tinged skin)
- Your child has had only one heart surgery
- Your child has normal intelligence (IQ between 85 and 115)
- Your child does not have a genetic disorder or severe neurological condition
- Your child did not have serious complications around birth

This study tests a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program for children aged 3–7 who have fully recovered from heart surgery. It aims to help them get stronger and healthier at home with support from their parents.
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 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 looks at whether a structured physical activity program can support thinking and brain development in children around age 2–5. Your child may be eligible if they are having certain surgeries or fit a matched “control” group and do not have specific neurologic or heart-related issues.
This study tests a home rehabilitation plan for preschool children who had heart surgery. It aims to help them recover better at home with their caregiver's support.
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.
