Abstract Background Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a widely utilized technique for left‐sided electrophysiological studies (EPS), interventions in left heart lesions, or creating interatrial shunts congenital diseases (CHD). This study aims to evaluate the outcome of TSP children under 20 kg. Methods retrospective analyzed procedures infants and <20 kg between December 2015 January 2023. TSPs were performed with biplane angiography system catheter laboratory. A Brockenbrough needle (BRK...

Abstract Introduction Although amiodarone is traditionally used in the treatment of postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET), search for new treatments ongoing. We present our experience with ivabradine at two medical centers. Materials and Methods Between January 2022 2023, patients who developed JET after pediatric cardiac surgery were prospectively followed up documented. The diagnosis was made support electrophysiology team based primarily on whether disrupted hemodynamics....

Isolated complete atrioventricular block is a rare disease often associated with maternal autoantibodies. This study aimed to present the midterm data of patients at our clinic diagnosed isolated block.We evaluated 108 block. Demographic patients, electrocardiography, echocardiography, 24-hour Holter monitoring data, and follow-up complications who underwent pacemaker implantation were retrospectively.The mean age diagnosis was 5.51 ± 5.05 years. At time diagnosis, 74.8% had no symptoms The...

Objective We report the early and long-term results of strategies surgical methods used in our center to treat pediatric patients who underwent intervention correct Ebstein anomaly (EA) center. Materials Methods In study, a consecutive sample 29 surgery for EA between February 2011 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Results The total 40 operations. Univentricular repair was performed 5 (17.2%), 1.5 ventricular biventricular remaining 19 (65.5%) patients. Cone reconstruction (CR) eight...

Echocardiography (echo) is the primary non-invasive imaging modality for assessment of congenital heart disease (CHD). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) also has potential to examine anatomy complex anomalies as well extracardiac involvement. The aim this study determine impact new CTA technology in diagnosis CHD and compare echo terms diagnostic accuracy. Forty-five patients who underwent preoperative intensive care unit were included study. results assessed three main types (cardiac...

Hemodynamically significant muscular ventricular septal defects in children after the infantile period are a rare occurrence and ideal for transcatheter closure. In cases of severe concomitant pulmonary hypertension, it may be necessary to fenestrate device. this report, we present an 18-year old patient with large mid-trabecular defect hypertension that underwent percutaneous closure home-made fenestrated atrial occluder. An 18-year-old female referred us complaints dyspnea (NYHA score...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes right ventricular outflow tract stenting for palliation during newborn and infancy periods. Methods: Between January 2013 2018, a total 38 patients (20 males, 18 females; median age 51 days; range, 3 days 9 months) who underwent transcatheter in three centers were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, cardiac pathologies, angiographic procedural, clinical follow-up data recorded. Results: diagnoses cases...

Anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from pulmonary is a rare congenital anomaly. While it generally follows an asymptomatic course, if undiagnosed may lead to severe clinical outcomes, including sudden death. The condition can be masked by associated defects, so when clinically suspected, diagnosis must confirmed conventional and/or magnetic resonance angiography, even echocardiography clearly shows roots. This report describes patient who underwent neonatal surgery for aortic...

Transcatheter closure of perimembraneous ventricular septal defect still poses a challenge due to the adjacent structures tricuspid and aortic valves risk atrioventricular block. We report our experience at 2 centers using KONAR-MF (multifunctional occluder) device, which gained its CE mark in May 2018.A retrospective study was carried out on all patients who underwent transcatheter with device centers.A total 47 were identified. The median age weight 25.8 months 11 kg. defects that closed 5...

Abstract The coexistence of aortic valve atresia and interrupted arch are an extremely rare condition. In this pathology, blood flow to the ascending aorta coronary arteries should be provided through ductus arteriosus or collaterals originating from descending aorta. cases where bilateral is present, they can provide circulation. Here, we report two in which were supplied by one distal systemic circulation a second patient collateral artery other. Initial palliation was successfully...

<b>Introduction:</b> The aim of this study was evaluation broncoscopic findings in children with congenital heart disease(CHD). <b>Method:</b> Bronchoscopy performed 37 patients CHD who were followed between October 2012–December 2014 our hospital. data obtained from these evaluated retrospectively. <b>Results:</b> Twenty-one the males and 16 females, median ages 12.5 mo (1-36m). Twenty-seven (72.9 %) operated for disease. Twelve had pulmonary hypertension. because extubation failure,...

Abstract Transposition of the great arteries with left ventricle outflow tract obstruction in combination situs inversus totalis and dextrocardia is a very rare anomaly carries high morbidity mortality. Only few cases have been reported this anomaly. We describe 21-day infant girl transposition mirror image pulmonary stenosis who underwent successful neonatal arterial switch operation resection following PDA stent implantation

Isolated aortic coarctation performed through a left thoracotomy resection and end-to-end anastomosis results in low mortality morbidity rates. Recoarctation late hypertension are among the most important complications after such repairs. In this study, we reviewed of children who underwent left-side to correct an isolated coarctation.A consecutive sample 90 patients extended our centre between 2011 2021 was retrospectively analysed. The patients' preoperative characteristics, operative...
