Abstract Objectives: To retrospectively assess the suitability of pulmonary artery banding as a treatment strategy for dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular non-compaction with depressed ejection fraction. Methods: The study was retrospective included consecutive patients who met inclusion criteria: diagnosed or fraction less than 35%. Cardiac indices were documented, clinical outcomes followed 5 years. Results: This 21 due to (n = 11) 10), treated either anti-congestion medication...
Background Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenosis after repair of tetralogy Fallot has been linked with favorable right remodeling but adverse outcomes. The aim our study was to assess the hemodynamic impact and prognostic relevance pressure load in this population. Methods Results A total 296 patients repaired (mean age, 17.8±7.9 years) were included a prospective cardiovascular magnetic resonance multicenter study. Myocardial strain quantified by feature tracking technique at...
Objectives To assess the safety and efficacy of Gore Septal Occluder (GSO) used for device‐closure significant secundum‐type atrial septal defects (ASD II) focusing on pediatric patients. Background The GSO is a patch‐like double disc device. Due to its design, it assumed be safe, even when implanted in ASDs with deficient retro‐aortic rims. Methods Multicenter retrospective analysis consecutive children adolescents situ at least 12 months according 1‐ 4‐year midterm follow‐up. Results...
Background: After encouraging results with the Edwards Sapien and XT valves, this study aimed to review procedural data early outcomes for 3 valves transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective analysis of cases who underwent TPVR between 2015 2017 in 7 centers Germany follow-up up 2 years. Results: 56 patients could be enrolled (weight 58,5 ± 25,0 kg; 53% Tetralogy Fallot, 45% native RVOT). Most procedures were two-stage (82,1%) 100%...
Endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs) are performed infrequently in children owing to significant past complication rates and controversial discussions about the therapeutic value of results. The objective this study was investigate safety feasibility EMBs for suspected myocardial disease relation their clinical value.We a retrospective multicentre review Working Group Interventional Cardiology German Society Paediatric Cardiology. During three consecutive years, 206 (84 female/mean age 8.95±6.62...
Patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) coronary artery involvement require long-term cardiac care. Although respective evidence-based recommendations are missing, catheterization is still considered the gold standard for diagnosing detailed pathology. Therefore, to better understand pathology development, we conducted a survey document and evaluate data in European population.
Background: The spectrum of myocarditis ranges from asymptomatic courses to severe heart failure. Cardiac arrhythmias are another feared complication. aim this study is evaluate initial and their occurrence in the long-term course pediatric patients with define certain risks.
Background: Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) is an increasingly practiced treatment option for patients with right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction. After encouraging results the Edwards Sapien and XT valves in position, Edwards’ latest modification, 3 available clinical PPVI trials.
Dissections of cervicocephalic arteries are rarely reported causes neonatal ischemic stroke. In these cases, vascular dissections were presumably caused by direct damage or stretch injury related to a traumatic delivery [J. Fluss et al. Eur J Paediatr Neurol 2016; 20:639–648]. Neonatal stroke is often missed initially because symptoms nonspecific, mild, absent and occur with time delay [KH. Deeg Ultraschall in Med 2017; 38:360–376]. The following case illustrates how cerebral Doppler...
Introduction: Transcatheter coil occlusion of VSDs has become available after CE-registration for the Nit-Occlud Lé VSD in August 2011.
GSO ist ein flaches, nicht selbst zentrierendes, aus einem mit ePTFE-Membran bedecktem Nitinolrahmen bestehendes Doppelschirmdevice, das seit 2011 für interventionellen Verschluss von Vorhofseptumdefekten (ASD II) verwendet wird.

Background: Patients with a history of Kawasaki disease (KD), especially those diagnosed coronary artery involvement, are known to require long-term cardiac care. Cardiac cauterization (CC) remaining the gold standard for diagnosing pathology, we conducted an international survey document and evaluate clinical impact CC performed on KD patients. Herewith, present our first preliminary data.
Background: The arterial switch operation (ASO) is the preferred method of repair for patients with d-transposition great arteries (d-TGA). Untreated, more than 50% die within first month and 90% year life. We present a case 6-month-old patient uncorrected d-TGA successful balloon-atrioseptostomy (BAS) ASO.
Background: Isolation of the subclavian artery (ISA) is a rare finding usually associated with further cardiac anomalies. To our knowledge there are no reported cases bilateral PDA and ISA in situs inversus.
Abstract Aims and Background Patients with a history of Kawasaki disease (KD), especially those diagnosed coronary artery involvement, are known to require long-term cardiac care. However, specific evidence-based recommendations on medical strategies missing. Cardiac catheterization (CC) is still considered the gold-standard for diagnosing detailed pathology. Therefore, better understand pathology development in long-term, we conducted survey document evaluate CC data European population....
Initial clinical studies with intravenous application of recombinant human alpha-glucosidase showed improved survival, cardiac and respiratory function, motor development in infants Pompe's disease. Since experience enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) disease is still limited, we aimed to achieve an overview results obtained this form treatment Germany. To accomplish this, analyzed retrospectively the data 13 patients infantile (9 German 4 Turkish descent) treated Alglucosidase alfa. Age at...
DAH kann autoimmun, inflammatorisch, mechanisch, hämodynamisch getriggert werden. Sie führt zu einem respiratory distress syndrom (RDS) mit ernster Prognose.
Objectives: New-onset headaches, mostly migraine attacks (MHA), occurred in 7–19% of adult patients early after transcatheter ASD closure. This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the incidence, timing, duration, possible risk factors for headaches children ASD-device-closure.
Objective: In selected neonates, primary stent implantation may be indicated for coarctation of the aorta. We describe our experience with five consecutive patients.
