Background— Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease. To evaluate the surgical results, we embarked on European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association (ECHSA) multicentric study. Methods and Results— From January 1997 to December 2007, collected data 68 patients who underwent surgery for scimitar syndrome. Primary outcomes included hospital mortality efficacy of repair at follow-up. Median age was 1.4 years (interquartile range, 0.46 7.92 years). Forty-four (64%) presented with...
To evaluate indications and results of surgery for primary cardiac tumors in children.Eighty-nine patients aged ≤18 years undergoing tumor between 1990 2005 from 16 centers were included retrospectively (M/F=41/48; median age 4.3 months, range 1 day to 18 years). Sixty-three (68.5%) presented with symptoms. Surgery consisted complete resection 62 (69.7%) patients, partial 21 (23.6%), transplant 4 (4.5%). Most frequent histotypes (93.2%) benign (rhabdomyoma, myxoma, teratoma, fibroma,...
Mechanical circulatory support devices have been increasingly used for long-term support. We reviewed outcomes in all patients supported with a SynCardia total artificial heart (TAH) more than 1 year to assess its safety As of December 2011, 47 who received the TAH from 10 centers worldwide were included this retrospective study. Clinical data collected on survival, infections, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events, device failures, antithrombotic therapy. The mean age was 50 ± 1.57 years,...
Significance Mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) is the core channel subunit of mitochondrial Ca 2+ complex (MCUC) and contributes to regulation ATP production. Here, we identify that adaptive maladaptive remodeling occurring in rodent human cardiomyocytes associated with changes MCU content, which are inversely correlated those its regulator microRNA-1 (miR-1). The present study thus defines molecular mechanism by content and, consequently, uptake directly modified alteration miR-1, a key...
In 1997, an effort was made to disseminate US pediatric cardiac surgical practices create a new comprehensive program in Guatemala. The objective of this study describe the improvement by exploring reduction risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality.A retrospective cohort procedures performed Guatemala from February 1997 July 2004 conducted. Data were divided into 3 time periods (1997 1999, 2000 2002, and 2003 2004) compared with benchmark (2000 Kids' Inpatient Database 27 states 313...
We report on the applicability of intraoperative regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) desaturation score by near-infrared spectroscopy in early detection postoperative low output state (LOS) infants with congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery.Between July and October 2011 intra- immediate courses 22 patients undergoing elective surgery for were analyzed. The cerebral somatic rSO2 measured a calculated (by multiplying below 50% threshold seconds). aim study was to evaluate...
Background and Aim of the Study We sought to evaluate appropriateness cardiac anatomy renderings by a new virtual reality (VR) technology, entitled DIVA, directly applicable raw magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data without intermediate segmentation steps in comparison standard three-dimensional (3D) rendering techniques (3D PDF 3D printing). Differences post-processing times were also evaluated. Methods reconstructed (STL, 3D-PDF, printed ones) VR models three patients with different types...
Background Minimally invasive thoracotomies to repair selected congenital heart defects are considered only a cosmetic alternative approach by many; however, they represent the routine in centers of expertise. Methods Pooled institutional data from European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association using mini-thoracotomy approaches were analyzed since beginning their respective experiences until an inclusion surgical date January 31, 2024, allowing at least six months postoperative follow-up....
Congenital cardiac disease is the greatest cause of death in patients with Down's syndrome during first two years life, from two-fifths to two-thirds those also having congenital malformations. The lesions within heart can be single or multiple. Our objective was evaluate frequency and type such malformations born Guatemala, provide baseline information for further research.We reviewed all who underwent a cardiologic screening examination between January, 1997, December, 2003, only...
Abstract Limited options do exist for mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to transplantation in the pediatric population. This is especially true when it comes intracorporeal technologies. We describe our successful experience with use of H eartWare ventricular assist devices (HeartWare, Inc., Framingham, MA, USA) three patients <16 years age, and feasible transplant weighing greater than 20 kg.
Early results from the prospective ESPOIR Trial have indicated excellent for pulmonary valve replacement using decellularized homografts (DPH).A 5-year analysis of patients was performed to provide an insight into midterm DPH performance. and Registry were matched with cryopreserved (CH) considering patient age, type heart defect previous procedures present overall experience DPH.A total 121 (59 female) prospectively enrolled (8/2014-12/2016), median age 16.5 years (interquartile range...
Abstract The Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery (WCPCCS) will be held in Washington DC, USA, from Saturday, 26 August, 2023 to Friday, 1 September, 2023, inclusive. the largest most comprehensive scientific meeting dedicated paediatric congenital cardiac care ever held. At time writing this manuscript, has 5,037 registered attendees (and rising) 117 countries, a truly diverse international faculty over 925 individuals 89 2,000 individual abstracts poster...
