Heart surgery in infants: new study reveals hidden Long-Term risks
NCT ID NCT07499609
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviewed medical records of 901 infants who had surgery for aortic coarctation (a narrowed aorta) before age one. Researchers wanted to find out how many later developed high blood pressure or re-narrowing of the aorta. The goal is to better understand these risks and improve follow-up care for these children.

Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion of all neonates and infants who underwent surgical repair of aortic coarctation within the first year of life in one of the five participating surgical centers. Among associated intracardiac lesions, patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), bicuspid aortic valve, and persistent left superior vena cava are also included. \- Exclusion Criteria: Children with complex congenital heart disease (e.g., transposition of the great arteries, double outlet right ventricle, single ventricle, truncus arteriosus, interrupted aortic arch) are excluded. Patients that underwent angioplasty as first intervention will also be excluded.
