Clinical Assessment of Thrombosis in Children After Heart Surgery

NCT01435473 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 400

Last updated 2016-02-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Thromboembolic complications (TCs) are important causes of morbidity and mortality after pediatric cardiac surgery, resulting in longer hospital stay, increased risk of early and late post-surgical complications, early reoperation, neurologic and organ damage, and potentially death. The true incidence of blood clots in pediatric surgical patients is unknown.

The overarching objective of this study is to further our understanding of TCs, including quantification, characterization and risk stratification. This study will ultimately allow the development of effective tools for prevention and early identification of TCs, rather than focusing on treatment alone.
