Objectives To describe long‐term risk of mortality, aortic insufficiency (AI), and re‐intervention following balloon valvuloplasty (BAV) in pediatric patients to identify factors for re‐intervention. Background Few studies report outcomes BAV infants children. Methods Kaplan‐Meier estimates proportional hazards regression were used a retrospective study 154 undergoing from 1993 2013. Results Seventy‐six (49%) neonates. Aortic stenosis (AS) gradients reduced by 38 ± 19 mm Hg. Moderate or...
Balancing systemic and pulmonary blood flow (PBF) in patients with a shunted single ventricle can be challenging. In symptomatic excessive PBF, medical strategies are sometimes inadequate. Surgical clips or bands applied to reduce but require an additional operation cannot patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stents because of the risk stent damage. Transcatheter techniques limited. The Diabolo technique modifies covered stent, creating hour-glass shape flow; however, it is typically performed...
Objective Cardiac catheterization in patients receiving extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has previously been shown to be safe and, many cases, therapeutic. However, the influence of cardiac on clinical outcomes this patient population not clearly defined. Methods A single institution, retrospective review all pediatric ECLS who underwent between January 2006 and September 2015 was performed. Results Eighty‐two interventional procedures were performed 74 patients. Catheterization findings...
Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury leading to vocal cord paralysis is a known complication of cardiothoracic surgery. Its occurrence during interventional catheterisation procedures has been documented in case reports, but there have no studies determine an incidence.To establish the incidence left recurrent after pulmonary artery stenting, patent ductus arteriosus device closure and combination either consecutively or simultaneously.Members Congenital Cardiovascular Interventional Study...
Patients palliated with Fontan circulation who require mechanical circulatory support pose anatomic and physiologic challenges. We treated an acutely failed patient sequential temporary durable devices. Aspects of treatment each device required modification based on the patient’s anatomy physiology.
Abstract Introduction Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) stands as an effective treatment option for symptomatic severe stenosis, applicable across all surgical risk spectrum. Registries show that up to 60% of these patients exhibit at least one marker frailty. Frailty has been associated with higher 1-year mortality rates and heightened susceptibility complications. Conservative treatment, however, a poor prognosis, ranging from 30-60% within year after diagnosis. Objective The...
Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) in premature and very low weight infants has not been described. We present a successful BAS 1.4-kg, 13-day-old ex-31 6/7-week infant with dextro-transposition of the great arteries restrictive septum. (Level Difficulty: Advanced.).
