OBJECTIVES: To study the feasibility of congenital ventricular septal defect occlusion by buttoned device and to establish guidelines for its safe effective application. DESIGN: A descriptive all patients with a undergoing transcatheter device, from March 1994 May 1995. These were otherwise candidates elective surgery at their institutions because they had persistence significant shunt (Qp:Qs = 1.5-2.1:1, median 1.7), left enlargement and/or symptoms, although systolic pulmonary artery...
BACKGROUND Several devices are available for transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus. Most these either require complicated intracardiac maneuvering, have not been tried in humans, or need a large-sized sheath implantation the device. METHODS AND RESULTS During 26-month period ending November 1992, 14 patients underwent closure arteriosus with an adjustable buttoned device delivered via 7F under institutional review board-approved custom-made protocol. The children were 15 months...
We report two cases of congenital atresia the ostium left coronary artery. Case 1: a six-month-old infant presenting with serious cardiac insufficiency. A noninvasive diagnosis dilated myocardiopathy was established and clinical picture pharmacologically compensated. When patient nine months age, hemodynamic study performed that revealed artery; immediately underwent successful anastomosis internal mammary artery 2: an eleven-year-old asymptomatic boy history heart murmur from age six on,...
We recorded cerebral artery flow velocities (CAFV) in two neonates with infarction, using transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD). Cerebral infarction was diagnosed by brain imaging. The arteries investigated were the middle (MCA), internal carotid (ICA) and anterior (ACA).
INTRODUCTION: Most patients with chronic cardiomyopathy of Chagas disease (CCCD) harbor a secondary cause coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), for which there is no evidence-based therapy. We evaluated the impact verapamil plus aspirin on symptoms and perfusion abnormalities in CCCD CMD. METHODS: Consecutive angina pectoris, who had neither artery obstructions nor moderate-severe left ventricular (left ejection fraction > 40%) despite showing wall motion ventriculography, were referred...
The authors report a case of multiple pulmonary varices, rare disease characterized by aneurysmatic venous dilatations, which can be present at any age and without gender predominance, occurring in isolation or associated with obstruction the veins. This condition usually manifests as lung mass variable clinical consequences.
Coronary fistulas are congenital heart diseases of generally low incidence. The fistulous vessel drainage occurs in the cardiac cavities or large vessels right heart, like pulmonary artery vena cava. authors report case an asymptomatic young woman with a fistula left anterior descending draining into ventricular apex, no communication between this segment and remainder cavity. This unusual presentation coronary-cavitary has not been previously described. As fístulas coronárias são usualmente...
Submitted July 20, 2011; Accepted October 6, 2011. Neoaortic root dilatation and neoaortic valve regurgitation following the arterial switch operation for transposition of great arteries may ultimately require and/or surgery. The ideal surgical approach to these lesions remains debatable. Hazekamp et al, in 1997, introduced replacement by neopulmonary autograft named this procedure back Ross operation. We report two patients who were successfully treated at our institution with operation,...
INTRODUÇÃO: Os autores relatam a experiência inicial da oclusão comunicação interatrial ostium secundum (CIA) com utilização prótese Memopart® (Shanghai Shape Memory Alloy Co Ltd, Shanghai, China). MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo observacional, no qual uma série de pacientes portadores defeitos significativa repercussão hemodinâmica e características anatômicas favoráveis ao implante foi submetida à percutânea CIA. O procedimento realizado por via femoral percutânea, pela técnica habitual....
Abstract Objective: The objective of the study was to analyse use pressure wire for acquisition intravascular pulmonary pressures in presence atresia and systemic-dependent blood flow. Methods: In this study, we included patients with circulation referred diagnostic catheterisation evaluation during period from April, 2012 2013. systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries were selectively catheterised, absence a critical stenosis angiographically determined; introduced these reach main artery,...
Introdução: A possibilidade de ocorrer liberação níquel na corrente sanguínea após implante dispositivos oclusores comunicação interatrial última geração (Cocoon Septal Occluder®), cujo principal componente é o nitinol (55% e 45% titânio), ainda permanece controversa, principalmente em determinados grupos pacientes, como crianças mulheres idade fértil. Dessa maneira, objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a correlação entre da prótese os níveis séricos níquel. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo...
Introdução: Historicamente, o registro de pressões intravasculares contribuiu para desenvolvimento da cardiologia intervencionista. Embora atualmente novos recursos imagem sejam preponderantes, a medida acurada ainda é essencial em muitos contextos diagnósticos e aferição métodos terapêuticos intervencionistas. Descrevemos utilização do sistema manométrico miniaturizado (pressure-wire) obtenção curvas pressóricas cardiopatias estruturais congênitas adquiridas. Métodos: Foram utilizados os...
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is currently the preferred method to treat patients with STsegment elevation acute myocardial infarction. The no-reflow phenomenon, which inability reperfuse a region of myocardium after restoration patency previously occluded epicardial artery, observed in considerable proportion these patients. benefit IIb/IIIa glycoprotein inhibitors, blocking final common pathway platelet aggregation, has been suggested studies syndromes, but their actual...
Historically, intravascular pressure recording has contributed to the development of interventional cardiology. Although new imaging resources have gained much attention, accurate measurement remains essential for diagnosis and evaluation therapy methods. We describe use miniature manometric system (pressure-wire) obtain curves in congenital acquired structural heart diseases. The Radi Analyzer® Xpress (St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) PressureWire® Certus systems were used...
