Heart surgery in babies: does leaving part of the thymus protect their immune system?
NCT ID NCT07019857
First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at babies under 6 months old who need heart surgery. During surgery, the thymus gland is often removed completely to help the surgeon reach the heart. The thymus is important for building a strong immune system early in life. Researchers want to see if removing only part of the thymus helps preserve immune function and reduce infections in the year after surgery. The study will compare three groups: babies who have complete thymus removal, partial removal, or no removal at all.
