NCT ID NCT07515248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether children who had surgery to close a large hole in their heart (called a VSD) will catch up in growth. Researchers will measure weight, height, and BMI before and after the procedure in 58 children aged 1 month to 2 years. The goal is to see how long it takes to reach normal growth and what factors might help or hinder that recovery.
