Pacing after heart surgery in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a pacemaker after heart surgery helps children's hearts recover and pump more efficiently. It is for children under 12 years old who are having heart surgery at Lurie Children's Hospital.

This trial tests a new pacemaker placement technique for people with a slow heartbeat (sinus node dysfunction) who need a pacemaker anyway. The goal is to see if this special placement can help prevent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can cause stroke and other complications.
This trial is testing a special way to pace the heart's natural electrical system, which may help people who need a pacemaker for certain heart-block conditions or for heart failure treatment. It aims to make pacing work better.
This study tests a new way of pacing (electrical stimulation) the heart to help it beat more effectively. It is for people who are already having a heart procedure, like getting a pacemaker or replacing a device battery.
This study checks whether a temporary heart pacing wire can help doctors know if you need extra fluids after heart bypass surgery. It aims to improve how fluid is managed in the ICU.
This trial tests a special pacing therapy that uses your natural breathing rhythm to improve heart function after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help people with weak heart muscles recover better after surgery.
This trial studies whether a special type of pacing (stimulating the heart's natural electrical system) works better than standard pacing after a procedure to control very fast heart rhythms. It's for people who already have a pacemaker and are getting a specific treatment for atrial fibrillation.
