First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 30 infants with congenital heart disease who need heart surgery. Researchers will use blood tests, EEG brain wave monitoring, and MRI scans to look for signs of brain injury. The goal is to find better ways to detect brain damage early and identify which children are at higher risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better ways to detect brain injury early in infants after heart surgery, helping doctors identify those who need extra monitoring or care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants. It is not testing a treatment, so it may not directly change how children are cared for.
