Active clinical trials for "Heart Defects, Congenital"

100 Russian children of 2 years of age and less in high-risk populations (preterm, and/or with heart and lung problems) will receive palivizumab (Synagis) 15 mg/kg intramuscularly as prophylaxis to severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in order to study the safety and efficacy of the drug in Russian subjects.

The primary goal was to describe the safety of the investigational product when given monthly to prevent serious respiratory infection among children with significant heart disease.

This study is a prospective, randomized study of patients with single ventricle heart disease who are to undergo superior cavo-pulmonary anastomosis, or "Glenn" operation. Such patients have historically undergone cardiac catheterization to ensure suitability for the procedure. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) is a newer technology that provides excellent anatomic and functional imaging of the heart. This study is designed to demonstrate our hypothesis that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging will provide comparable information to catheterization, with less side effects.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) in children receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). The main question it aims to answer is: -What is the impact of a CDSS designed to facilitate weaning and discontinuation of MV on the duration of MV in post-operative congenital cardiac surgery patients? Participants will be identified as eligible to initiate weaning from mechanical ventilation. Providers will decide whether or not to initiate weaning based on recommendations provided by the CDSS. Researchers will compare patients exposed to the CDSS with a historical cohort to see if the CDSS facilitated a decrease in MV duration.

The ACHDi Registry study will create a foundational database for adult congenital heart disease interventions. This Pan-Canadian Registry will collect clinical and patient-reported information that will enable the evaluation of care processes and outcomes in five most common ACHDi interventions by enabling prospective and retrospective registry-based studies to answer important clinical practice and policy-relevant questions.

Due to better medical care, a growing number of patients with congenital heart disease reach adulthood. A large number of these patients needs a redo cardiac surgery. No guidelines of best transfusion practice exist for this patient population. A retrospective analysis of all adult patients with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery between 2000 and 2020 will be performed. Transfusion practices and their influence on outcome at 30 days and 6 month will be evaluated.

To collect information about the management of symptomatic severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) and Aortic Regurgitation (AR) using transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI).

To predict vulnerable patients for aortic root dilatation in TOF patients using CT as a reliable imaging modality, thus aiding early intervention, and identifying those who will require strict follow-up. To assess the prevalence of TOF patients who developed aortic root dilatation, and those who were complicated with dissection, AR, and aneurysm, through collecting data from a large center (Aswan Heart Centre). To investigate the relationship between age at repair and the diameter of aortic root.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to investigate whether supplemental Nitric Oxide (NO) gas delivered during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reduces the incidence and impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD), when compared to placebo gas

Assesment of pediatric CHD by Echocardiography and Multislice CT before operation and compare with surgical results. Compare echocardiogram and 128-Multislice spiral computed tomography(MSCT) in the diagnosis of pediatric CHD. Confirm echocardiographic finding in pediatric CHD by(MSCT) and to show the role of MSCT in diagnosing of extra-cardia anomalies. to show the role of MSCT as a useful tool in defintive diagnosis of congenital heart disease before operations which assist surgeons
