Objective Evaluate long-term outcomes following balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) for stenosis (PS). Background Long-term data BPV is limited to small, single center studies. Methods from April 12, 1985 January 7, 2015 three centers were included. Outcomes studied ≥ moderate PI by echocardiogram and residual PS 40 mm Hg. Risk factors PI, PS, repeat intervention assessed univariate multivariate analysis. Results Among 254 patients, mean age at was 3.8 years (range 1 day-67 years), initial...
Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction is caused by stenosis or dyskinesia the sphincter Oddi, leading to blockage bile drainage from common duct. We present case a 16-year-old female with chronic abdominal pain who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis but continued experience pain, nausea, and vomiting along persistently elevated ALT AST levels. Postoperative ultrasound was nondiagnostic. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed mild reflux esophagitis Helicobacter pylori-negative...
OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the long-term impact of Kawasaki disease (KD) hospitalization on health-related quality life (HRQoL). METHODS We merged Outcomes Assessment Program and KD databases queried for admissions between 1 month 18 years age. Patients with a diagnosis community-acquired pneumonia were included as comparison group. HRQoL was evaluated parent proxy Pediatric Quality Life Inventory (PedsQL). Long-term follow-up PedsQL surveys performed at least year after initial...
Significant hemolysis is a recognized complication of transcatheter high-velocity shunt occlusion using some Amplatzer devices. We describe case severe following an iatrogenic Gerbode defect with muscular ventricular septal occluder successfully managed by device removal and reocclusion Gore Cardioform Atrial Septal Defect Occluder.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis that can cause coronary artery inflammation and aneurysm formation leading to early obstructive disease. We describe the use of PK Papyrus covered stents (Biotronic, Inc.) in three pediatric patients exclude aneurysms (CAA) from circulation relieve associated stenoses. Follow-up angiography at 11-17 months postprocedure demonstrated persistent exclusion CAA varying degrees in-stent restenosis (ISR). Two required percutaneous intervention with drug...
Introduction: The presence of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) may be under-recognized during standard hemodynamic evaluation in patients with Fontan physiology. Assessment reserve (VR) (Δ artery pressure/Δ cardiac index) utilizing pharmacologic stress testing could a better way identifying PVD pediatric patients. objective this study is to diagnose testing. Hypothesis: Pharmacologic will unmask as having PVD. Methods: Single center record review catheterizations dobutamine administration...
