Objectives This study sought to update benchmark values use a quality measure prospectively. Background Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Outcomes Project – Quality Improvement (C3PO‐QI), multi‐center registry, defined initial radiation dose benchmarks retrospectively across common interventional procedures. These data facilitated metric endorsed by the American College of Cardiology in 2014. Methods Data was collected prospectively 9 C3PO‐QI institutions with complete case capture between...
Early treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is necessary to help reduce the risk of coronary artery abnormalities, such as aneurysms and alleviate symptoms, in Kawasaki disease. Some patients, however, do not respond an initial dose IVIG require additional doses. Prediction these nonresponders may be assistance altering therapy make it more effective. The Egami score has been validated Japanese population predict but shown ineffective US populations. This study evaluates a Midwest...
Abstract Objectives: The present study evaluates two transcatheter closure strategies utilized at a single center and makes recommendations for device selection when occluding the patent ductus arteriosus. Background: A variety of devices are available arteriosus (PDA) but no guidelines exist to guide operator choice. Methods: total 132 patients underwent attempted PDA utilizing one consecutive between January 2000 June 2005. Strategy ( n = 64; 2000–May 2003) Gianturco coils only. B 68;...
Introduction In patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), use transannular patch (TAP) may be required in order to relieve significant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, subsequently resulting pulmonary insufficiency (PI). The monocusp valve has been used temporarily reduce hopes improve short and midterm outcomes. purpose this study was assess for potential benefits the subset patients. Design Between 2005 2016, 119 TOF stenosis who underwent repair TAP were analyzed, 43 (36.1%)...
Safety events and technical success (TS) have been previously reported for aortic pulmonary valvuloplasty, but a composite performance measure as novel, patient-centered strategy has neither developed nor studied. This study aims to refine procedural (PP) variable, of TS safety, isolated, standard-risk valvuloplasty.
Abstract Antiepileptic medications have been reported to cause disturbances in cardiac conduction. Lacosamide decreases seizure burden by modulating sodium channels. Although it has demonstrated few side effects, there reports of clinically significant conduction disturbances. We report the case a child with hypoplastic left-heart syndrome and well-controlled multifocal atrial tachycardia who developed haemodynamically after receiving two doses lacosamide.
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed tremendous stress on the health care system. Its effects pediatric/congenital catheterization program practice and performance have not been described.The purpose of this study was to evaluate how case volumes, risk-profile, outcomes procedures changed in response first wave after that wave.A multicenter retrospective observational performed using Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project Outcomes Registry (C3PO) data changes volume, mix, (high-severity...
To improve our understanding of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in univentricular congenital heart disease, objective was to identify the effects hepatic vein and superior vena cava constituents on lung microvascular endothelial cells independent blood flow. Paired samples were collected from children 0–10 years old undergoing cardiac catheterization. Isolated serum subsequently used for vitro cell assays. Angiogenic activity assessed using tube formation scratch migration. Endothelial...
Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) in adults has emerged as an alternative to surgery. We report a rare complication occluder device embolization into the pulmonary artery which was detected by fluoroscopy and echocardiography. The potential usefulness live/real time three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography management patients undergoing percutaneous ASD occlusion is described.

Background: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are common sequelae of palliated univentricular congenital heart disease, yet their pathogenesis remain poorly defined. In this preliminary study, we used paired patient blood samples to identify potential hepatic factor candidates enriched in vein blood. Methods: Paired venous were collected from the (HV) and superior vena cava (SVC) children 0 10 years with biventricular disease ( n = 40). We three independent protein analyses...
Objective: Kawasaki Disease (KD) is one of the most common vasculitides childhood. Its precise pathophysiology, however, not very well understood. KD occurs frequently in southeastern Asian, particularly Japanese, populations and, thus, has been described extensively this population. The American population markedly different, having a significantly greater degree racial hetero geneity. There paucity data regarding differences among different races This study characterizes and compares...
Abstract Transcatheter valve‐in‐valve and valve‐in‐ring implantation has become a common approach to treating patients with failed bioprosthetic tricuspid valves as well surgical repairs of the valve where an annuloplasty ring been utilized. We describe case Melody was percutaneously implanted in native severe stenosis following repair without supporting ring.
