Recovery after cardiac surgery is a complex process that has to compensate for both individual variability and extensive tissue damage in the context of systemic inflammation. Protein glycosylation essential many steps inflammatory cascade, but due technological limitations role variation inflammation not been addressed until now. We analysed composition total plasma IgG N-glycomes 107 patients undergoing surgery. In nearly all individuals N-glycome underwent same pattern changes first 72 h,...
Abstract Penetrating cardiac injuries are rare but one of the most urgent emergencies because they require early intervention in order to prevent death. The mortality rate such injuries, including pre-hospitalization deaths, goes up 90%. commonly injured heart chamber is right ventricle since it takes over half anterior thoracic wall. left less often, these patients usually have worse prognoses and higher rates lead hemodynamic instability faster. We present a unique case suicide attempt...
A five-month-old male with a hypoplastic left heart syndrome developed severe respiratory insufficiency due to influenza type B viral pneumonia following bidirectional Glenn. He was treated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and successfully weaned without neurological consequences.
Main pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare, mostly asymptomatic and discovered accidentally. The main may be idiopathic or secondary to underlying diseases such as hypertension, Behcet’s disease, connective tissue disorders, congenital heart vasculitis, syphilis, tuberculosis endocarditis. There some indices that dextrocardia is associated with anomalies of the arteries valve. A rare occurrence results in a lack recommendations, so remaining challenges whether should treated, how, when....
Herein we present the right ventricular dissection and describe its successful management after arterial switch operation in a full-term male neonate. There are no evidence-based recommendations for of this rare complication. Our included veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation placement delayed surgical evacuation dissecting haematoma with beneficial outcomes.
Background: The prevalence of heart failure is constantly increasing in both children and adults. End-stage unresponsive to medical therapy has limited treatment options. Surgical options include transplantation or implantation durable ventricular assist devices (VADs). To start the VAD program, it was necessary train core team members, invite experienced proctors adjust organizational approach. Methods: We present our first seven pediatric patients who underwent a with primary indication...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important treatment option for organ support in respiratory insufficiency, cardiac failure, or as advanced tool cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Reports on pediatric ECMO use our region are lacking.This study a retrospective review of all cases that underwent veno-arterial (VA) veno-venous (VV) protocol between November 2009 and August 2020 at the Department Pediatrics, University Hospital Center Zagreb, Croatia.Fifty-two runs identified over...
