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 24, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at infants under 6 months old who need heart surgery. During surgery, the thymus gland is often fully removed 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 over the next year. About 70 babies will join, and their immune cells and infection history will be tracked.
