Blood filtering during heart surgery in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special blood filter during heart surgery can reduce harmful inflammation. It may help children recover better after long surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 18 years old.
- Your child is having heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine for more than 3 hours.
- Your child will receive the blood filter as a preventive measure during surgery.
- Your child has not taken non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen) in the last 7 days.
- Your child is not pregnant (if applicable).
- You can give informed consent and your child is not in another conflicting study.

This study measures how active white blood cells and inflammation are during complex heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors better understand what triggers inflammation during surgery and how to improve care.
This trial studies patterns in immune cells (neutrophils) in very young children who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. The goal is to better understand and potentially reduce lung injury after surgery.
This study examines how heart-lung machines used during heart surgery affect blood platelets (clotting cells) and the body's inflammatory response. Understanding these changes may help doctors better manage bleeding and inflammation after cardiac surgery.
This study tests a special filter (Jafron) used during open-heart surgery in children. The filter is placed in the heart-lung machine to remove substances that may cause inflammation and help recovery.
This trial compares two ways to filter blood during heart surgery in young children to see which method works better. It may help kids under 5 who need heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study looks at how managing blood products during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine affects the risk of red blood cell breakdown in children. The goal is to find safer ways to handle blood during these procedures.
