To determine the early results of balloon expandable stent implantation for aortic coarctation or recoarctation.Prospective observational study.Two paediatric cardiology tertiary referral centres.17 patients, median age 17 years (range 4.4 to 45) and weight 61 kg (17 92). Six had native 11 recoarctation; 14 upper limb systolic hypertension. Of those with recoarctation, eight at least one previous dilatation attempt two these patients also further surgical interventions.Balloon Palmaz iliac...
We inserted covered Cheatham-Platinum stents in 4 patients, ranging age from 12 to 19 years, who weighed between 45 and 94 kg. All the patients had aortic coarctation, with surgical repair having been attempted previously one, balloon dilation performed as primary treatment two, resulting formation of aneurysms. The fourth patient not received any treatment. gradients were reduced 10 40 mmHg before insertion stent 0 5 after stenting. No complications encountered. are well at an interval 3 14 months
To determine outcome of stent implantation in patients with middle aortic syndrome.Prospective study, case series.A tertiary paediatric cardiology centre a children's hospital.Five patients, aged 4 to 17 years (mean 11.4 years), upper limb hypertension due syndrome.Stents were implanted the mid/lower thoracic/upper abdominal aorta.Satisfactory deployment stents and blood pressure control.In all angiocardiography showed long segment stenosis mid or lower aorta. The gradient was between 40 90...
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short and intermediate term results infants who have undergone balloon aortic valvotomy from carotid arterial approach, identify risk factors in those had a poor outcome. Methods Between 1988 1999, attempted at four centres 95 with severe stenosis. Echocardiographic hemodynamic data, outcome, were analysed retrospectively. Results Valvotomy accomplished 92 infants, median age 5 days, range 0 191 weighing 3.4 kg, 1.0 6.5 kg....
Describe outcomes from stenting transverse aortic arch hypoplasia.Hypoplasia of the may result in residual systemic hypertension and be amenable to stenting.Outcomes for hypoplasia were collated four centers between 2000 2010. Primary endpoints reduction peak systolic catheter gradient, dimensions stented segment, right arm blood pressure. Changes antihypertensive medication early late complications recorded. Data 21 patients (16 male, 5 female), median age 16.5 years (range, 0.25-25.9...
Abstract Background The clinical significance of isolated systolic hypertension with normal central blood pressure known as spurious (sHT) in adolescents and its evolution over time is not known. Methods aim this study was to analyze changes office, ambulatory (ABPM), (cSBP), hemodynamic parameters, target organ damage (TOD) a 1-year follow-up group non-obese children sHT. Results Of 294 patients referred for primary hypertension, 138 (31 girls; 22%) had confirmed by ABPM. 48/138 (35%) (7...
Abstract: The modified Blalock–Taussig shunt is a palliative operation for some congenital heart diseases. An artificial conduit with antithrombotic surface placed between the subclavian (or innominate) and pulmonary artery supplies blood to lungs in defects decreased flow. Clotting of graft main cause its failure. Stenosis arteries also observed. objective present study was investigate flow pattern possibility that clotting initiated by stimulation platelets high shear stress, possible...
Background: A Fontan-type operation, i.e. a connection of the systemic veins and pulmonary arteries without subpulmonaryventricle, with different surgical techniques, is nowadays only treatment option for patients functionally univentricularheart (UVH). Understanding development in who are considered Fontanprocedure important clinically. Aim: To evaluate univentricular circulation. Methods: Between 1995 2007, 111 underwent bidirectional Glenn procedure. In all patients,...
Prezentowane zalecenia są rozszerzoną i uaktualnioną wersją zaleceń pediatrycznych Polskiego Towarzystwa Nadciśnienia Tętniczego (PTNT) opublikowanych w 2015 roku. Od tego czasu ukazały się nowe opracowania wprowadzające między innymi nową klasyfikację nadciśnienia tętniczego, zasady postępowania grupach ryzyka oraz metody oceny uszkodzenia narządowego. W prezentowanych, zaktualizowanych zaleceniach PTNT uwzględniono zmiany wprowadzone European Society of Hypertension z 2016 roku wcześniej...
Red cell width distribution (RDW) is known to be a prognostic marker in adults with pulmonary hypertension. The value of this test the arterial hypertension (PAH) pediatric population was not yet established. aim study evaluate RDW children PAH and utility parameter management. Data were collected retrospectively 61 patients confirmed by right heart catheterization. measured at diagnosis, 3 12 months after initial therapy, during deterioration if occurred. Results compared NTproBNP, WHO-FC...
Abstract The recommendations of the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology basic training in paediatric congenital cardiology required to be recognised as a cardiologist by are described below. Those wishing achieve more advanced particular areas should consult different Working Groups available on website ( www.aepc.org ) respective publications 1–6. development requirements is responsibility Educational Committee Council collaboration with Cardiology. Trainees...
Background: The growing number of adults patients after the Fontan operation requires regular surveillance tests in specialized centers. Aims: Evaluation current practice care for Poland based on a multicenter survey. Methods: Eight centers were included study-5 adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) and 3 pediatric adolescents. To aim comparison between facilitate interpretation results, Surveillance Score (FSS) was developed. higher score is consistent with better care, maximum 19 points....
Atrial septal defect is the most common congenital heart lesion in adults. Although atrial closure recommended those with right enlargement or paradoxical embolism, data informing such indications adults are quite limited. This population has many unique characteristics and needs. In recent years, significant progress been made regard to diagnostic modalities that facilitate workup of these patients. However, decision‑making process, especially selected adult patients (advanced age, various...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to present acute hemodynamic failure as a rare indication for liver transplantation in neonates and infants with hemangiomatosis. We report four patients aged one six months giant hemangiomas, huge arterio‐venous shunting within these malformations. In three, many skin hemangiomas were found. All children developed right ventricular failure. two, trial pharmacological reduction attempted corticosteroids cyclophosphamide. patient, the fistulas embolized...
Abstract Myocardial ischemia caused by microvascular dysfunction is an important pathophysiologic component of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), promoting myocardial fibrosis, adverse left ventricular remodeling, and impacting on clinical course outcome in HCM patients. The aim study was to assess the prevalence significance children with using 99mTc-MIBI single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Ninety-one HCM, median age 13.6 years, underwent SPECT evaluation from 2006 2017....
To investigate biatrial mechanics and their relation with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction (LVOTO), the degree of hypertrophy, indices diastolic function fibrosis in children hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Fifty-five consecutive, prospectively recruited HCM (mean age 12.5 ± 4.6 years, 69.1% male), 19 (34.5%) whom had LVOTO, underwent cardiac magnetic resonance echocardiography quantification phasic components function, biventricular fibrosis. Twenty healthy, sex-matched...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare progressive disease of the pulmonary arterioles with an unfavourable prognosis.To evaluate survival and prognostic factors in patients PAH diagnosed treated at single centre years 2004–2013.The study included 55 children (33 girls; 66%, 22 boys; 33%), average age 6.2 ± 6.0 years, idiopathic — n = 23 (42%), associated systemic-to-pulmonary shunts 17 (31%), after corrective cardiac surgery 15 (27%). Forty-seven them (87%) were advanced...
