Objective Arterial switch operation (ASO) is nowadays the standard of care for neonates with D-transposition great arteries (D-TGA). We evaluated our early and late results ASO D-TGA. Materials Methods collected data on 267 patients D-TGA, either intact ventricular septum (D-TGA/IVS; n = 182, 68%) other associated congenital heart malformations (complex D-TGA; 85, 32%) that underwent between January 1987 July 2018. Results Median age at was 8 days (interquartile range [IQR], 6-12 days)....
To evaluate early and long-term results of surgical treatment aortic coarctation (CoAo) in infants children.A retrospective clinical review patients less than 18 years with CoAo, undergoing surgery between 1995 2015. Data were retrieved from our institutional database, to identify preoperative postoperative characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed by bivariate, Cox's, logistic regression analysis.Three hundred forty-one consecutive (male/female: 192/149; the median age at 25 days;...
Background and Aim of the Study Outcomes after repair tetralogy Fallot (TOF) are good with either a transventricular (TV) or transatrial (TA) approach. We sought to determine if there is relationship between TV TA approach right ventricular (RV) function, role residual pulmonary regurgitation (PR) on long-term outcomes. Methods This was retrospective cohort multicentric study survivors surgical TOF (TA versus approach, ±transannular patch) 1990 2004. All patients underwent magnetic resonance...
Abstract Background Mechanical cardiac support is currently an effective strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. However, solid evidence regarding the feasibility of intracorporeal devices children still needs be provided. We report our 10‐year experience with left ventricular assist (LVAD) children. Materials Methods included all patients undergoing intracorporeal, continuous‐flow LVAD implantation between 2012 2022. Baseline postoperative data were collected from...
End-stage heart failure (ESHF) in pediatric age is an ongoing challenge. Heart transplantation the final option, but its long-term outcomes are still suboptimal children. An alternative patient-tailored surgical protocol to manage ESHF children described. Retrospective, single-center analysis of patients admitted our institution between April 2004 and February 2021 for ESHF. Our current as follows: (a) Patients <1 year with isolated left ventricular dysfunction due dilated cardiomyopathy...
Objectives We sought to determine the indications, type, and outcomes of reoperations on aortic root after repair tetralogy Fallot (TOF). Methods Eleven centers belonging European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association contributed data collection process. included 36 patients who underwent surgical procedures root, including surgery valve ascending aorta, between January 1975 December 2017. Original diagnoses TOF-pulmonary stenosis (n = 18) atresia 18). The main indications for reoperation...
The arterial switch operation (ASO) has become the standard surgical treatment for patients with d-transposition of great arteries (d-TGA). While ASO significantly improved survival rates, a subset develops unique anatomical anomaly known as gothic aortic arch (GAA). Understanding cardiac mechanics in this population is crucial altered can have profound consequences on function and exercise capacity. GAA been associated changes ventricular function, hemodynamic, Studies shown correlation...
A rare case of mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) associated to right extra-lobar bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) was diagnosed at birth in a full-term newborn. At one month age, the patient underwent embolization BPS, complicated by coil entrapment common iliac artery requiring urgent laparotomy. Few days later, congenital cardiac repair accomplished uneventfully. 12-months follow-up, did not have hypertension, but presented moderate stenosis femoral artery,...
Introduction Mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a extremely rare congenital heart disease. Methods We report the initial management of case associated to right extralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS). Results TAPVC extra-lobar BPS was diagnosed at birth in full-term newborn. At one month age, patient underwent embolization BPS, complicated by coil entrapment common iliac artery requiring urgent laparotomy. Few days later, cardiac repair accomplished...
