Comparing ultrasound measurements for heart hole assessment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of measuring blood flow pressure across a hole in the heart (VSD) during surgery. The goal is to help doctors better understand and treat this common heart defect in young children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 6 months and 5 years old
- Child has a hole in the heart (VSD) that is isolated and in a specific location (peri-membranous)
- Child is already scheduled for surgery to close the heart hole
- Child does not have other types of heart defects or lung vessel problems
- Child is not currently sick with an upper respiratory infection (cold, cough)
- No medical reasons preventing the use of heart ultrasound during surgery

This trial monitors children who had a ventricular septal defect (VSD) closed with a device to see how they do over time. It checks if the closure stays effective and if there are any long-term issues.
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.
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 the best treatment plan for people with a specific type of hole in the heart wall that affects the right side of the heart. It may help doctors choose an approach based on how well it works for patients who need treatment.
This trial compares two ways of doing a breathing maneuver (Valsalva) during a heart ultrasound to see if it better detects a common hole in the heart (PFO). If you are already scheduled for this test, the study will help find the best method for you.
This study looks at children with a common heart defect called a ventricular septal defect (a hole between the lower heart chambers). The goal is to learn more about how this condition affects children and help guide better care.
