To report the experience of 23 tertiary referral European Centres on transcatheter closure congenital ventricular septal defects (VSD). Implantation devices was attempted in 430 patients (pts) with VSDs until July 2005. The following anatomic types were present: 119 muscular, 250 perimembranous, 16 multiple, 45 residual post-surgery. Median VSD size 7 mm (range 3–22), fluoroscopy time 33 min 3–146). Devices implanted Amplatzer muscular or membranous 364, PDA 12, ASD seven, Starflex and coils...
Purpose: To determine if magnetic resonance (MR) imaging data can be used to create rigid models that are accurate representations of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and pulmonary trunk anatomy such refine selection patients for percutaneous valve implantation (PPVI). Materials Methods: Institutional review board approval informed patient consent were obtained. Twelve patients' MR analyzed elaborated input into a rapid prototyping (RP) system. RP successfully built presented two...
Since the late 1980s, endovascular stents have been used in treatment of several vascular lesions. In last decades, stent implantation has proposed as a reliable option for coarctation aorta. this setting, it seems to some advantages, rendering superior angioplasty alone.Between December 1997 and 2004, 71 consecutive patients (44 males 27 females) underwent cardiac catheterization native or recurrent Seventy-four were implanted. All discharged enrolled follow-up programme. Every patient...
Percutaneous implantation of pulmonary valve has been recently introduced in the clinical practice. Our aim was to analyze data patients treated Italy by using Melody Medtronic valve.Prospective, observational, multi-centric survey means a web-based database registry Italian Society Pediatric Cardiology (SICP).Between October 2007 and 2010, 63 were included (median age: 24 years; range 11-65 years). Forty subjects NYHA class I-II while 23 III-IV. Patients had history median three previous...
To present our experience of 'first-in-man' implantation a new percutaneous pulmonary valve into dilated trunk, using patient specific data to influence the design device and ensure safety.A 42-year-old with severe insufficiency underwent computed tomography assessment his trunk. This information was utilised create computer rapid prototyping models that were used customise test device, which subsequently implanted patient. Following procedure, clinical, haemodynamic morphological success...
The post-approval MELODY Registry aimed to obtain multicentre registry data after transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) with the Melody™ (Medtronic plc.) in a large-scale cohort of patients congenital heart disease (CHD).Retrospective analysis TPVI valve. Eight hundred and forty-five (mean age: 21.0 ± 11.1 years) underwent 42 centres between December 2006 September 2013 were followed-up for median 5.9 years (range: 0-11.0 years). composite endpoint TPVI-related events during...
Transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects with coils or devices designed to close other lesions may be complicated by embolization aortic insufficiency. A new asymmetric Amplatzer occluder and delivery system was specifically for defects. This report describes the first use this device in 27 patients. Implantation successful 25 (93%), 1 removed device-related insufficiency inability position sheath another. Device orientation excellent when initially advanced through...
Recent advances in technology have provided the opportunity for off-line analysis of digital video-clips two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiographic images. Commercially available software that follows motion cardiac structures during cycle computes both regional and global velocity, strain, strain rate (SR). The present study aims to evaluate clinical applicability based on tracking algorithm feature (studied cardiology purposes) derive reference values longitudinal circumferential SR left...
Background Pediatric patients with atrioventricular valve disease have limited options for prosthetic replacement in sizes <15 mm. Based on successful experience the stented bovine jugular vein graft (Melody valve) right ventricular outflow tract, prosthesis has been modified surgical pediatric dysfunction intention of subsequent expansion catheterization laboratory as child grows. Methods and Results A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was performed among who underwent Melody at 17...
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy a novel percutaneous "deviceless" suture-mediated patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure system.Between June 2016 and October 2017, prospective registry aimed at assessing safety NobleStitch EL (HeartStitch, Fountain Valley, CA, USA) suture-based PFO system carried out 12 sites in Italy. Among 200 consecutive patients evaluated, 192 were considered suitable for (44±13 years, 114 female). Suture septum with successfully 186 (96%) patients. Median...
Patient-specific computational models have been extensively developed over the last decades and applied to investigate a wide range of cardiovascular problems. However, translation these technologies into clinical applications, such as planning medical procedures, has limited few single case reports. Hence, use patient-specific is still far from becoming standard care in practice. The aim this study describe our experience with modelling framework that allows simulations be used for...
