NCT ID: NCT06223321 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Congenital Heart Diseases

The Role of Multislice Computed Tomography in Congenital Heart Diseases in Paediatric Age Group.

Start date: January 3, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aims to evaluate the added value of cardiac multislice Computed Tomography in assessment of CHD in pediatrics as a non-invasive presurgical planning method

NCT ID: NCT03437148 Terminated - Cardiac Output Clinical Trials

Non-Invasive Shunt Quantification in Interatrial Communication

NISQIC
Start date: July 18, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Shunt quantification in atrial septal defect (ASD) is estimated by Echocardiography-Doppler, with the pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio: Qp/Qs. Higher is the ratio, more important is the shunt, and the consequence on right ventricular function. A value higher than 1.5 is one of the criteria for percutaneous closure of Secundum ASD. Maatouk and al. have demonstrated that a shunt fraction (Qp/Qs) over 3 is a predictive factor of an incomplete reversibility of the right ventricular remodeling [1]. Even if the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography is admitted for Qp/Qs measurement, there is still some technical difficulties. Thus, the right cardiac catheterization for O2 consumption measurement by the direct Fick method is used. The major inconvenient is the potential risk of adverse effects. Non-invasive methods have been developed using physical properties (as the thoracic bioimpedance) or inert gas rebreathing technique. Thoracic Bioimpedance (TB) and inert gas rebreathing (IGR) techniques have been studies on healthy individual and different respiratory or cardiac diseases to evaluate the cardiac output (CO). TB and IGR measure the systemic and pulmonary blood flow respectively. Without shunt the pulmonary blood flow is equal to the systemic blood flow. Thus, Investigator suppose that combine the two techniques in disease with shunt, will allow a quantification of the shunt fraction Qp/Qs as accurate as with the gold standard technique (Fick method and Echocardiography Doppler). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and the accuracy of the non-invasive measurement of the Qp/Qs ratio in secundum ASD using the IGR technique and the TB versus the two gold standard techniques: the Fick method and the Echocardiography-Doppler. The study hypothesizes that the values of Qp et Qs determined by IGR et TB respectively are in the same range of values that the one determined by gold standard techniques.

NCT ID: NCT03005626 Completed - Clinical trials for Congenital Heart Diseases

Transition From Adolescents to Adulthood for Patients With Congenital Heart Diseases

Start date: January 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Investigators aim to measure the impact of a transition program in congenital cardiology in terms of health-related quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT02542683 Recruiting - Children Clinical Trials

Physical Activity and Cognitive Development in Children

Start date: April 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

1. Compare physical activity and cognitive functions between children having cardiac surgery with an age-matched group of children undergoing non-cardiac surgery, as well as otherwise healthy siblings or best buddies (or age and gender-matched children if no siblings or best buddies available) before surgery and after surgery or six months following initial assessment. 2. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 6 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. 3. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 12 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. 4. We will perform exploratory analysis to determine whether any effects of a 12-months structured physical activity program on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior persist beyond 12 months after cessation of the program.

NCT ID: NCT02527811 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Congenital Heart Diseases

Ulinastatin Injection in in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery

Start date: April 2015
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

1. Explore the efficacy of Ulinastatin use in improving post-operative pulmonary insufficiency and safety in pediatric patients undergoing scheduled CPB open heart surgery to treat Complex Congenital Heart Disease 2. Explore the efficacy of Ulinastatin use in improving intraoperative hemodynamic instability as well as other post-operative organ recuperation and its impact on hospital stay & cost

NCT ID: NCT02503267 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Congenital Heart Diseases

"Incidence and Consequences of Disorders of Glycosylation in Patients With Conotruncal and Septal Heart Defects"

(CARDIoG)
Start date: July 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The objective of the study is to investigate congenital disorders of glycosylation in congenital heart diseases without a clear molecular or genetic basis.

NCT ID: NCT01619982 Completed - Clinical trials for Aortic Valve Disorder

Pre-operative Prophylaxis With Vancomycin and Cefazolin in Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery Patients

Start date: February 2012
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The investigators hope to learn 1) if the addition of prophylaxis with vancomycin will decrease the rate of cefazolin non-susceptible surgical site infections (SSI), in high risk population 2) to develop better understanding of vancomycin and cefazolin pharmacokinetics in children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) 3) to assess the barriers to vancomycin dosing peri-operatively 4) to assess side effects and risks associated with peri-operative vancomycin administration. This will allow us to improve patient care by better understanding the benefits or the risks of peri-operative vancomycin administration and potentially decrease cefazolin-resistant surgical site infections. In addition, this study gives us the opportunity to evaluate cefazolin and vancomycin pharmacokinetics (pK) on children on CPB. The investigators will take blood samples from 20 patients. In 10 patients the investigators will do Cefazolin pK analysis and in the other 10 the investigators will do pK Vancomycin analysis. For the remainder of 292 patients, only prospective chart review will be done to determine the incidence of SSIs. This data will be compared with 936 controls who received only Cefazolin pre-operatively as prophylaxis for SSI's.

NCT ID: NCT01450956 Unknown status - Clinical trials for Congenital Heart Diseases

The Protective Effects of Sevoflurane in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Start date: September 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

During repair of a congenital heart defect the child is exposed to myocardial hypoxia. Recent studies have suggested that the paediatric myocardium is more sensitive to hypoxia and cardioplegic arrest than the adult. The protective effect of halogenated agents on ischaemia and reperfusion injury has been investigated widely in adults. The investigators hypothesis that sevoflurane applied during cardiopulmonary bypass might afford better myocardial protection during paediatric cardiac surgery.
