NCT ID NCT05154864
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 40 children with congenital heart disease who had heart surgery. During surgery, doctors used a special filtering technique called SBUF-SMUF to remove inflammatory substances from the blood. The goal was to see how this affected inflammation and recovery. The study was observational, meaning it only described what happened without comparing to another group.
