Heparin and the Reduction of Thrombosis (HART) Trial

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT00779558

Age - 1 Day-1 Year Condition - Pediatric Cardiology Gender - All Accepting Healthy Volunteers - No

Purpose

Heparin is frequently used in central venous catheters (CVCs) in post-operative cardiac patients. It remains unclear if a heparin infusion, compared to a normal saline infusion, prevents thrombosis of CVCs after surgery. This study will answer the question: does a low-dose heparin infusion (10 units/kg/h) prevent thrombosis, compared to a normal saline infusion, in patients less than one year of age after cardiac surgery?
