Background: Infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow may undergo palliation either a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent or modified Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunt. A balanced multicenter comparison of these 2 approaches is lacking. Methods: palliated PDA BT shunt from January 2008 to November 2015 were reviewed the 4 member centers Congenital Catheterization Research Collaborative. Outcomes compared by use propensity score adjustment account for baseline differences between groups....
Background— Preoperative brain injury is an increasingly recognized phenomenon in neonates with complex congenital heart disease. Recently, reports have been published that associate preoperative transposition of the great arteries performance balloon atrial septostomy (BAS), a procedure improves systemic oxygenation preoperatively. It unclear whether BAS cause or confounder, because who require are typically more hypoxemic. We sought to determine relationship between and BAS. hypothesized...
The Fontan operation creates a total cavopulmonary connection, circulation in which the importance of pulmonary vascular resistance is magnified. Over time, this leads to deterioration cardiovascular efficiency associated with decline exercise performance. Rigorous clinical trials aimed at improving physiology and guiding pharmacotherapy are lacking.
Abstract Objectives To devise a classification scheme for ductal morphology in patients with dependent pulmonary blood flow (PBF) that can be used to assess outcomes. Background The impact of on outcomes following patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting is not well defined. Methods Patients <1 year age who underwent PDA PBF at the four centers comprising Congenital Catheterization Research Collaborative (CCRC) were included. A was devised based tortuosity index (TI)—Type I (straight),...
Surgical cutdown for access to the common carotid artery provides a more direct route certain pediatric cardiac interventions and avoids femoral injury in small infants. The safety of percutaneous (PCA) children is unknown.Retrospective review PCA at Texas Children's Hospital Healthcare Atlanta. From July 2006 November 2014, 42 patients underwent 47 attempts catheterization via PCA. Median (range) age was 20 days (0 days-2.9 years) weight 3.2 kg (1.1-12.2). Two had failed with no sequelae....
Daily home monitoring of oxygen saturation and weight has been reported to improve outcomes for patients with single-ventricle heart disease during the period between stage I palliation II palliation. However, these studies have limited single institutions used historical control subjects. Our objective was determine association various interstage strategies using a multicenter cohort contemporary subjects.We performed retrospective study prospectively collected data from National Pediatric...
Background— Outcomes after right ventricle (RV) decompression in infants with pulmonary atresia intact ventricular septum vary widely. Descriptions of outcomes are limited to small single-center studies. Methods and Results— Neonates undergoing RV for were included from 4 pediatric centers. Primary end point was reintervention post-RV decompression; secondary points circulation type at latest follow-up. Ninety-nine patients (71 28 virtual atresia) underwent median 3 (25th–75th, 2–5) days...
Abstract Background Carotid artery (CA) and axillary (AA) access are increasingly used for transcatheter stenting of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), although reports limited. Methods The Congenital Catheterization Research Collaborative (CCRC) reviewed multicenter data from infants who underwent PDA via CA or AA approach 2008 to 2017, compared outcomes those undergoing femoral (FA) approach. Post‐procedure ultrasound (US) imaging was reviewed. Results Forty‐nine ( n = 43) 6) approach,...
Objectives This study sought to update benchmark values use a quality measure prospectively. Background Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Outcomes Project – Quality Improvement (C3PO‐QI), multi‐center registry, defined initial radiation dose benchmarks retrospectively across common interventional procedures. These data facilitated metric endorsed by the American College of Cardiology in 2014. Methods Data was collected prospectively 9 C3PO‐QI institutions with complete case capture between...
Abstract Objective Shone’s syndrome is a complex consisting of mitral valve stenosis in addition to left ventricle outflow obstruction. There are few studies evaluating the long-term outcomes this population. We sought determine our paediatric population with and factors associated heart growth. Methods All patients diagnosed biventricular circulation treated between 1978 2010 were reviewed. Baseline echocardiograms data from catheterisations also Number interventions...
In infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow, initial palliation patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent or modified Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunt have comparable mortality but discrepant length of stay, procedural complication rates and reintervention burdens, which may influence cost. The relative economic impact these strategies is unknown.Retrospective study flow palliated PDA (n=104) BT (n=251) from 2008 to 2015 at 4 centers the Congenital Catheterization Research Collaborative....
