Maintaining arterial duct patency by stent implantation may be advantageous in congenital heart disease management algorithms. Rapamycin, an immunosuppressant drug that demonstrates antiproliferative properties and inhibits smooth muscle cell migration, deter the intimal hyperplasia occurs during spontaneous closure after-stent of duct.Twenty-eight Yorkshire piglets (7 to 11 days old; weight, 2.2 4.9 kg) underwent (rapamycin-eluting (n=14) or bare metal stents, 3.5-mm diameter) were...
A previously healthy 14-year-old girl presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of upper respiratory symptoms and 2 syncopal episodes. She was initially febrile, tachycardic, tachypneic; initial electrocardiogram showed diffuse T-wave inversions right atrial enlargement. There no pericardial effusion on bedside formal echocardiography; latter, however, revealed hyperechogenic pericardium. viral swab positive for influenza B.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by the acute onset of a reversible left ventricular wall motion abnormality that extends beyond single coronary artery's distribution, following period emotional or physical stress. We present 4 yr 11 mo old boy who was admitted to pediatric intensive care unit few days tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. The patient presented with mild cyanosis, shortness breath decreased levels consciousness. Initial investigations revealed significant hypokinesia...
Introduction: Maintaining ductus arteriosus (DA) patency by stent implantation may be advantageous in congenital heart disease management algorithms. Rapamycin, an immuno-suppressant drug, has anti-proliferative properties, inhibits smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and deter intimal hyperplasia occurring during spontaneous closure post of the DA. Methods: 16 Yorkshire piglets (age 7–11 days old, weight 2.2– 4.9 kg) underwent DA (rapamycin-eluting (n = 8), bare metal 8) stents, (3.5 mm...
