To analyze the characteristics and clinical implications of right aortic arch (RAA) detected in fetal life.Retrospective study all cases RAA diagnosed prenatally high-risk patients who underwent echocardiography between 2000 2007.There were 48 RAA; 18 had vascular ring (Group 1), including 15 with aberrant left subclavian artery 3 double arch, 30 not 2), mirror-image branching. The prenatal diagnosis was confirmed 94%. In Group 1 most fetuses normal heart (89%), none 22q11 deletion. There 16...
Electrical alternans at the repolarization phase of cardiac cycle have been reported to be related with increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Here, authors present and study a method detecting ST-T complex based on Karhunen-Loeve (KL) transform beatquency (Fourier KL series beat order as temporal reference). The ratio power in band around 0.5 cycles/beat respect total is then used indicator period 2 presence. This similarly done 4 alternans. To performance this detection system...
Abstract Although mortality is low after the modified Fontan procedure, there a significant percentage of patients with prolonged postoperative recovery. The objective this study to evaluate usefulness administration oral sildenafil and inhaled nitric oxide on early outcome. A prospective interventional comparison historical cohort was conducted. Between January, 2010 March, 2013, 16 received during immediate period. Inhaled also administered if patient kept intubated 12 hours surgery. Early...
<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Firstly, to describe the outcome of a series fetuses with Ebstein’s anomaly (EA) and, secondly, study utility different second-trimester echocardiographic parameters predict fetal and neonatal mortality. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> 39 EA diagnosed between 18 28 weeks gestation were included. Fetal echocardiography included cardiothoracic ratio (CTR); right atrial (RA) area index; displacement tricuspid valve (TV);...
In paediatrics, evidence regarding the treatment of viral myocarditis using interferon beta-1B is restricted to four children older than two years and there are no reported cases infants. The objective was describe efficacy safety in infants under one year age with myocarditis.Two were admitted hospital presenting respiratory symptoms. Echocardiogram showed myocardial damage. Parvovirus-B19 detected a PCR assay, initiated. Six months later, cardiac function had recovered both cases.This...
One pre‐ and two postoperative cultures of tracheo‐bronchial secretions were obtained from 28 cardiac patients, subjected to open‐heart surgery. Four patients received preoperative antibiotics, all but one prophylactic antibiotics. Preoperatively, only patient had potential pathogens; after surgery (mean intubation time 4.2 h), four (14.3%) organisms; 19 h intubation, 28% the pathogens in their secretions. Only three seven organisms recovered last sample clearly sensitive antibiotics given...
La coartación aórtica del neonato puede asociar en un porcentaje importante hipoplasia arco aórtico, llegando algunas series al 60%. Cuando existe aórtico distal el tratamiento estándar consiste la resección de zona y anastomosis termino-terminal extendida. En casos severa largo, podría no ser suficiente con extendida, por lo que sería razonable realizar alguna técnica adicional para ampliar distal, evitando así abordaje anterior, uso parada circulatoria o sin perfusión cerebral selectiva...
A37-year-oldwoman,inthe39thweekofherfirstpregnancy,fell from a standing position and landed on her buttocks withboth hips in flexion, abduction external rotation. Shecomplainedofpubicandlumbarpain(mainlyontheleftside)and was unable to sit, walk or even perform active flexion ofthe hips.She complained of tenderness over the pubis pubicpain with trochanteric pressure. Neurovascular exam wasnormal. Radiographs showed traumatic disruption thesymphysis 7 cm diastasis fetal skull incephalic...
Neonates and small infants have unique characteristics that make it possible to obtain echocardiographic views are inaccessible in older patients. A high transsternal approach through the cartilaginous sternum thymus gland allows visualisation of a short-axis view pulmonary valve. This should be included as part routine protocols for examinations performed this age group.
Presentamos el caso de un neonato 7 días vida con diagnóstico prenatal estenosis aórtica crítica y doble lesión valvular mitral grave, a quien realizamos una reparación biventricular neonatal completa, que consistió en procedimiento Ross-Konno, resección extensa fibroelastosis endocárdica sustitución prótesis Melody®. Como antecedente se destaca la realización exitosa valvuloplastia percutánea intraútero. We report case of days neonate with critical aortic stenosis and severe regurgitation,...
