Abstract The Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery (WCPCCS) will be held in Washington DC, USA, from Saturday, 26 August, 2023 to Friday, 1 September, 2023, inclusive. the largest most comprehensive scientific meeting dedicated paediatric congenital cardiac care ever held. At time writing this manuscript, has 5,037 registered attendees (and rising) 117 countries, a truly diverse international faculty over 925 individuals 89 2,000 individual abstracts poster...
The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes patients with acute type A aortic dissection comparing proximal repair vs. total arch replacement. This a retrospective cohort study. We included all procedures from January 2002 November 2022. Groups were defined according extent replacement (hemiarch replacement). collected data pre, intra, and postoperative variables. Our main endpoints stroke rate, spinal cord injury, in-hospital mortality. performed statistical analysis for...
Connective tissue disorders are known to cause cardiac and vascular complications. We present the case of a 37-year-old female patient with rare Ehlers Danlos/Osteogenesis Imperfecta Overlap Syndrome, referred surgery aortic valve regurgitation, who underwent successful Biological Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR). A multidisciplinary, patient-centered, heart-team approach is essential in managing patients genetic optimize postoperative outcomes. Adult surgeons must become familiar...
Objetives Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) provides hemodynamic support to patients when their myocardial function is temporarily affected. Postoperative infections in children with CHD on ECMO are a significant challenge, as they complicate recovery and affect outcomes during this critical period of support. The objective study was analyze the mortality related micro-organism isolated CHD. Methods Retrospective cohort from January...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic currently gripping the globe is impacting entire health care system with rapidly escalating morbidities and mortality. Although infectious risk to pediatric population appears low, effects on children congenital heart (CHD) remain poorly understood. closure of surgery programs worldwide address growing number infected individuals could have an unintended impact future for COVID-19-negative patients CHD. Pediatric surgeons, given their small...
Very little information is available about the epidemiology of congenital heart disease in developing parts world, including South America. This article describes incidence cardiac disease, different treatment rates among countries, and future solutions for achieving improved coverage children with diseases An 8 per 1000 live births appears to be a fair approximation population world also Nevertheless, wide variation exists observed American which can partly explained by inequalities access...
Objective Many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) struggle to provide the health services investment required for life-saving congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery. We explored associations between risk-adjusted CHD surgical mortality from 17 LMICs global development indices identify patterns that might inform strategies. Design Retrospective analysis: country-specific standardised ratios were graphed against reflective of wealth healthcare investment. Spearman correlation...
High energy requirements and poor feeding can lead to growth failure in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD), but effects of preoperative malnutrition on surgical outcomes are poorly understood, especially low-resource settings.
The evidence regarding patient related outcomes in children with infrequent congenital heart defects (I-CHD) is very limited. We sought to measure quality of life (QoL) I-CHD, and secondarily, describe QoL changes after one-year follow-up, self-reported by through their caregivers' perspective.We assembled a cohort diagnosed an I-CHD cardiovascular referral center Colombia, between August 2016 September 2018. At baseline at clinical psychology assessment was performed establish perception...
Background: Paediatric cardiovascular services are frequently absent or poorly developed in many countries around the world. Our foundation made 83 trips support of between April 1993 and March 2003 to help alleviate this problem. In study, we present an analysis our results over these period 10 years. Methods: We performed a review all available records relating trips, including patient databases, audited financial statements, donated product inventory lists, lists team members, follow-up...
The optimal training of the highly specialized congenital heart surgeon is a long and complex process, which significant challenge in most parts world. World Society for Pediatric Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS) has established Global Council on Education as nonprofit organization with goal assessing current certification ultimately establishing standardized criteria training, evaluation, surgeons around WSPCHS have reviewed present status cardiac surgery There currently lack consensus...
The World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS) is the largest professional organization in world dedicated to pediatric congenital heart surgery. purpose of this article document first decade history WSPCHS from its formation 2006, summarize current status WSPCHS, consider future WSPCHS. was incorporated Canada on April 7, 2011, with a head office Montreal, Canada. vision that every child born anywhere defect should have access appropriate medical surgical care....
Complications and critical events during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are very challenging, difficult to manage, in some instances have the potential lead fatal outcomes. Massive cerebral air embolism is undoubtedly a feared complication CPB. If not diagnosed managed early, its effects devastating even fatal. It catastrophic early diagnosis intraoperative management still controversial. This why decision-making process massive represents challenge for entire surgical, anesthetic, perfusion...
