<h3>Objective</h3> Children undergoing Ross operation were expected to have longer autograft, but shorter homograft durability compared with adults. In order define the outcome in second decade after children, a nationwide review of 23 years experience was undertaken. <h3>Methods</h3> 305 children underwent 11 paediatric units between 1990 and 2012. Age at surgery 9.4±5.7 years, indication aortic stenosis 103 patients, regurgitation 109 mixed lesion 93. 116 (38%) patients had prior...
Objective: Chronic volume overload in repair of tetralogy Fallot (TOF) with transannular patch leads to significant late morbidity and mortality. Preserving pulmonary valve integrity offers a better long-term prognosis, despite risk residual stenosis. In our study we analyzed the evolution pressure gradients patients operated conservative approaches, particular regard those babies an immediate postoperative Prv/Plv ratio ≥0.70. Methods: Between January 2000 June 2008, 24 TOF underwent...
S100 is a member of family calcium-binding proteins present primarily in nervous tissue, where it mainly concentrated glial cells (1)(2). Although the role this protein brain function and disease has not yet been conclusively elucidated, ascertained that appearance constituent neural biological fluids reliable indicator active cell damage system different pathological conditions (3)(4)(5)(6). Open heart surgery known to be associated with injury. It was diagnosed previously using rather...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Italy has been one of the countries most severely affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Italian government was forced to introduce quarantine measures quickly, and all elective health services were stopped or postponed. This emergency dramatically changed management paediatric adult patients with congenital heart disease. We analysed data from 14 cardiac surgery centres during lockdown, focusing on impact pandemic surgical activity, healthcare providers...
Repair of Tetralogy Fallot (TOF) has currently excellent results with either transventricular or transatrial approach. However, it is unclear as to which better late outcomes and what role residual pulmonary valve (PV) regurgitation in the long term is. We report on clinical after repair a large series patients TOF, focusing type surgical technique.This analysis retrospective multicentre study undergoing TOF infancy. The exclusion criteria were atresia absent PV.We selected 720 who had...
Abstract Acute myocarditis leading to severe heart failure in paediatric patients is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition. The prompt implant of mechanical circulatory devices such as veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation remains the best treatment option restore adequate perfusion and improve patient survival case refractory cardiogenic shock cases. While few reports describe in-hospital course this dramatic disease, with mortality under support around 30%,...
The optimal surgical procedure for treatment of fibromembranous subaortic stenosis has been a subject debate. We report our experience with patients treated membranous using membrane resection alone and plus aggressive septal myectomy.Patients followed in the pediatric cardiology clinic university hospital, who had undergone surgery between 2002 2013 were reviewed. Recurrence membrane, residual left ventricular outflow gradient, aortic valve function analyzed.Forty-six underwent membrane. Of...
