Measuring heart pressure in children having VSD repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of measuring pressure across a heart defect (VSD) during surgery. The goal is to see if one method gives more accurate results, which could help doctors plan better care for children with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 5 years old.
- Your child has a specific type of heart defect called a peri-membranous VSD (a hole between the lower chambers of the heart).
- Your child is already scheduled to have surgery to close this hole.
- Your child must not have other types of VSDs, lung blood vessel disease, or a very large hole that causes uncontrolled blood flow.
- Your child must not have a recent or active cold or chest infection.
- Your child must not have any condition that makes it unsafe to use a special ultrasound probe in the esophagus during surgery.

This study looks at tiny blood vessels in children with specific heart defects during surgery. It may help doctors better understand circulation and improve care.
This study looks at how children and teens recover after closing a common heart hole (ventricular septal defect) using a special device placed through a tube. It aims to see if the closure works well and how the heart does over time.
This study measures pressures inside the heart during cardiac surgery to better understand how well the heart is working. It may help doctors improve care for patients having certain heart valve or aorta procedures.
This study looks at how children grow after surgery to close a large hole in the heart. If your child has this condition and is not growing well, this study may help understand if the surgery improves growth.
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict complications in children who have had a specific type of hole in the heart (called a perimembranous ventricular septal defect) repaired with a catheter-based procedure. The goal is to help doctors better identify which children might have problems after the procedure.
This study gathers information on a procedure to close a specific type of heart hole using a device inserted through a catheter. It aims to evaluate how well this procedure works in different medical centers.
