Cardiac index–guided blood flow management during pediatric Moyamoya EDAS surgery
Official title: Personalized Cardiac Index-Guided Intraoperative Hemodynamic Management to Improve Postoperative Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Moyamoya Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Seoul National University Hospital · NCT07304947 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether using each child's cardiac index to guide fluids and hemodynamic care during EDAS lowers postoperative transient ischemic episodes in children with Moyamoya disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children under 18 years old with Moyamoya disease who are scheduled for EDAS under general anesthesia and meet routine surgical risk criteria are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with high anesthetic risk (ASA 4–5), emergency surgery, known cardiovascular disease, or other conditions judged inappropriate by investigators are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, randomized 1:1 trial comparing goal-directed intraoperative hemodynamic management guided by baseline cardiac index versus standard blood pressure–based management in children undergoing encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS). Children under 18 with Moyamoya disease scheduled for EDAS under general anesthesia are randomized to one of the two management strategies. The intervention arm uses individualized cardiac index targets to direct fluids and vasoactive drugs, while the control arm follows standard arterial pressure targets. The primary outcome is the incidence of transient ischemic episodes during the hospitalization after surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, individualized cardiac index guidance could reduce post‑operative transient ischemic events and related neurologic complications after EDAS in children with Moyamoya.
How similar studies have gone: Goal-directed hemodynamic therapy guided by cardiac output/index has shown benefits in some adult surgical populations, but its application in pediatric Moyamoya surgery is novel and not well studied.
