The aortic valve (AV) neocuspidization (Ozaki procedure) is a novel surgical technique for AV disease that preserves the natural motion and cardiodynamics of root. In this study, we sought to evaluate, by 4D-flow magnetic resonance imaging, blood flow characteristics after in paediatric patients.Aortic root ascending aorta haemodynamics were evaluated population patients treated with Ozaki procedure; results compared those group operated Ross technique. Cardiovascular studies performed at...
To compare real-time compressed sensing (CS) and standard balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) cardiac cine imaging in children.Twenty children (mean age, 15 years ± 5 [SD], range, 7-21 years; 10 male participants) with biventricular congenital heart disease (n = 11) or cardiomyopathy 9) were prospectively included. Examinations performed 1.5-T imagers by using both bSSFP CS sequences all participants. Quantification of ventricular volumes function was for images two readers blinded...
Little is known about the clinical value of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), in children affected by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).We retrospectively evaluated 15 patients (8 ± 6 years, males) with diagnosis DCM who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance since 2014. All scans were performed a 1.5 T system (Aera, Siemens). Study protocol included cine steady-state free precession sequences, followed administration 0.2 mmol/kg gadolinium-based contrast agent. Inversion recovery Turbo Flash same...
Abstract Aims Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parametric mapping is underexplored in cardiac tumours. To evaluate the contribution of sequences on characterization paediatric Methods and results All patients referred for tumours at Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital from June 2017 to November 2023, who underwent CMR with sequences, were included. The diagnosis tumour type was performed according signal characteristics different sequences. Mass each subtype interobserver variability assessed....
Heart transplant recipients undergo extensive invasive and non-invasive postoperative screening to exclude complications, such as allograft rejection vasculopathy. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive, non-irradiating, diagnostic tool for monitoring graft health identifying possible tissue or myocardial fibrosis. We describe the case of 29-year-old female heart recipient admitted our care center with worsening clinical condition. The patient underwent evaluation, blood tests,...
Intracardiac thrombosis is a relatively common pathological condition. Often, it diagnosed at echocardiography during the subacute or chronic phase. In very acute phase, tissue composition can make thrombus appearance different from that usually seen. Fresh has been previously found also in peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPC), but with imaging features our case.A 27-year-old woman was referred to hospital for PPC, echocardiographic finding of intraventricular masses, resembling big bubbles....
Background Severe pulmonary regurgitation, progressive dilatation and dysfunction of the right ventricle are most frequent reason late morbidity post Fallot repair. Pulmonary valve replacement is often indicated in these patients. BioIntegral Injectable (IPV) an innovative less invasive technique, done off cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) fundamental tool to assess patient suitability for IPV insertion clinical follow up.
