Full Study Name
Optimal Management of Critical Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction: A Congenital Heart Surgeons' Society Study (IRB no. 44333)
Summary
This research registry focuses on babies who have critical obstruction to blood leaving the left side of the heart to the body. The purpose of the study is to gather information from hospitals in North and South America about babies with this condition and to understand the differences in patient outcomes, depending on the type of surgery performed to correct the condition. Parents will complete questionnaires that ask about medications, exercise limitations, any surgery or procedures and overall quality of life.
