Oxygen test may help predict outcomes for babies with rare heart defect
NCT ID NCT03771534
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving extra oxygen to pregnant women can help doctors tell how well blood mixes in the hearts of unborn babies with a condition called transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Researchers used ultrasound and MRI to measure blood flow and heart structure in 34 fetuses. The goal was to improve diagnosis and predict which babies might have more complications after birth.
