Diphtheria, a preventable yet potentially fatal childhood disease, remains significant threat to unimmunized children, despite its decreased prevalence due widespread vaccination. A 6-year-old unvaccinated Spanish boy presented with diphtheritic myocarditis. His condition rapidly deteriorated, leading cardiogenic shock and ventricular tachycardia, necessitating the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation international procurement antitoxin (DAT). Myocarditis stands as primary...
We describe a 12-year-old boy with agenesis of the intrahepatic segment inferior vena cava (a rare congenital anomaly) in whom an electrified coronary guidewire electrocautery was used percutaneously to perforate and open atretic segment, followed by stent implantation. This technique may be safe feasible option for paediatric patients, offering therapeutic alternative complex cardiac anatomies.
Myocarditis has traditionally been considered an acquired condition, but recent evidence suggests a genetic contribution, primarily in complicated cases. Data on pediatric uncomplicated or infarct-like myocarditis remain scarce. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of pathogenic likely (P/LP) variants adolescents with and their association clinical imaging findings. prospective, multicenter included 30 diagnosed across five hospitals Catalunya, Spain (2016-2024). Diagnosis was confirmed...
Correlation between ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulsed Doppler tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio has been widely reported in adults but scarcely studied children with congenital heart diseases. This is defined as the relationship diastolic transmitral flow velocity (cm/s; E) myocardial relaxation e') lateral aspect of mitral annulus. Our main objective was to ascertain whether a correlation existed direct measurement left atrial echocardiographic after surgery.Prospective study...
Chiari network is an embryonic remnant of valves the sinus venosus, which can be observed in several locations right atrium. Although it usually considered a normal anatomic variant, when associated with certain clinical conditions, may become confusing finding, and careful differential diagnosis required. It should differentiated from tricuspid valve disruption, vegetation, thrombus, or tumoral mass. In this case report, we describe singular endocarditis over seven-year-old boy that was...
En la edad pediátrica, valvuloplastia aórtica es considerada como una opción para el tratamiento paliativo de estenosis congénita. Se revisaron las valvuloplastias aórticas sobre válvula nativa realizadas consecutivamente en nuestro centro desde marzo 1994 hasta junio 2013, con objetivo identificar variables asociadas a necesidad reintervención seguimiento. Análisis pacientes sometidos aórtica, relación sus características clínicas, ecocardiográficas y evolutivas, serie 51 individuos,...
"Persistence of the fifth aortic arch" is a rare congenital cardiovascular anomaly that consists an abnormal vessel arising from distal ascending aorta connecting with systemic or pulmonary circulation. We report case type A interruption arch and coarctation arch, which connected descending aorta. No cardiac surgery was required because covered stent successfully implanted in when patient 4 years old. chromosome 9 q arm duplication uncertain significance also found, never described before...
