Persistent truncus arteriosus

This trial tests whether a personalized exercise program before heart surgery can improve physical fitness in adults with congenital heart disease. Participants are randomly assigned to either usual care or a 6-week prehabilitation plan with aerobic, breathing, and strength exerc…

This study will test a special balloon coated with the drug paclitaxel to treat long blockages in the leg arteries. About 300 people with severe leg pain or wounds will receive the balloon treatment during a standard angioplasty procedure. Researchers will track how well the arte…

This study enrolls children and young adults scheduled for heart surgery or catheterization under general anesthesia. Researchers place a forehead sensor that measures tissue oxygen levels and use an algorithm to estimate blood hemoglobin. The goal is to see if this noninvasive m…

This study will check how accurate chest X-rays are at finding congenital heart disease in newborns. Researchers will study 60 babies in the NICU who show signs of heart problems. Each baby gets a chest X-ray within 24 hours and an echocardiogram within 72 hours. By comparing the…

This study will test a handheld device called IntraOx that uses light to measure oxygen levels in heart and liver tissue during complex heart surgery in children. The goal is to see if it can give surgeons useful information about blood flow without interfering with the operation…

This study looks at how the antibiotic cefazolin spreads in the chest tissue of 10 children after heart surgery for congenital heart disease. A small probe placed during surgery will measure drug levels over 36 hours. The goal is to create a computer model to help doctors give th…

This study will test a new, non-invasive ultrasound technique that captures brain blood flow in real time for infants with congenital heart disease. Researchers aim to understand how medical treatments and surgeries affect the brain, potentially explaining why some children later…
