Abstract Background and Aims Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is indicated to treat right-ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction related congenital heart disease (CHD). Outcomes of TPVI with the SAPIEN 3 that are insufficiently documented were investigated in EUROPULMS3 registry 3-TPVI. Methods Patient-related, procedural, follow-up outcome data retrospectively assessed this observational cohort from 35 centres 15 countries. Results Data for 840 consecutive patients...
Abstract Although the long-term outcomes of surgical grafts are well defined and reported, data regarding mid-and results balloon-expandable percutaneous valves in native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is limited. We retrospectively evaluated 42 patients who underwent PPVI (Sapien® XT valve) to RVOT due severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and/or moderate stenosis (PS) between August 2015 November 2020. The median patient age at time was 13.4 years (6.1–36.5 years). body weight kg...
OBJECTIVESImplantation of stents into the ductus arteriosus is an alternative treatment to palliative or corrective cardiac surgery in newborns with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation, although use this technique for congenital heart disease limited.
We evaluated the preoperative, operative and postoperative risk factors affecting early mortality in patients who underwent total correction of tetralogy Fallot (TOF).One hundred twenty-two TOF reparative surgery between January 2010 November 2013 were enrolled study.Mean patient age weight was 2.3 ± 2.5 years 11.3 6.4 kg, respectively. Cardiac catheterization performed 101 (83%),and coronary anomalies found 11 patients. Mean McGoon index, pulmonary annulus z-score, main artery left z-score...
Background Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) has emerged as a less invasive alternative for treating severe regurgitation after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair in patients with native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). However, the success PPVI depends on precise patient-specific sizing, avoidance oversizing complications, and optimal performance. In recent years, innovative adaptations commercially available cardiovascular mock loops have been used to test conduits...
Fontan Failure (FF) is a common problem for single-ventricle patients as they reach adulthood. Although several mechanisms may cause FF, an optimized blood flow stream through the surgical conduits essential to avoid excessive energy loss (EL). Recent clinical studies showed EL related quality of life, exercise capacity, and hepatic function since feeds pulmonary systemic circulation serially. 4D MRI effectively estimates in allows clinicians compare effectiveness treatment strategy...
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to examine the causes cardiac tamponade in children undergoing percutaneous pericardiocentesis. Method Patients who presented with other complaints but were diagnosed based on clinical and echocardiographic findings between J anuary 2010 2013 retrospectively investigated. Electrocardiography, telecardiography transthoracic echocardiography performed. Pericardiocentesis performed percutaneously under continuous blood pressure rhythm monitoring...
Objective: We evaluated autonomic behavior by examining heart rate variability (HRV) in the time domain and frequency pediatric patients who underwent transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD).Methods: A prospective study design was used.Holter ECG performed a control group 30 healthy subjects 47 ASD closure.ECG taken one day before, after, six months after procedure to evaluate changes [SDNN, rMSSD, NN, pNN50(%), SDANN] (VLF, LF, HF, VHF, LF/HF) patient group.Student's t-test used...
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is frequently used as a less invasive method in patients with conduit dysfunction. The common type cannot be conduits diameter larger than 22 mm. There has been limited experience concerning the of SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve, produced for use large diameter. This study presents hemodynamic and early follow-up results from single center Turkey Valve different types lesions.Between October 2010 July 2012, seven implantations were performed. was...
Abstract Objective: To investigate the efficacy of dornase alpha, a mucolytic agent, in children who developed pulmonary atelectasis after congenital heart surgery. Design: Retrospective case–control study. Setting : Paediatric cardiac intensive care unit at tertiary hospital. Patients Between July, 2011 and 2012, 41 patients underwent operations post-operative that was resistant to conventional treatment chest physiotherapy. Interventions In all, 26 received alpha treatment. As control...
Background The rapid expansion of pediatric cardiovascular surgery, along with the increase in number centers and operations, has also increased use intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Preoperative TEE allows for confirmation diagnoses established by transthoracic angiography, identifies possible additional pathologic conditions. is used to follow up on surgical repairs, determine need reintervention, evaluate myocardial performance inotropic treatment. Our intention share...
Single-stage biventricular repair remains a challenging and difficult decision in high-risk newborns early infants with the presence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) or borderline hypoplasia ventricle (LV).Six patients underwent initial hybrid procedure (bilateral pulmonary banding + ductal stenting) for staged repair. Their median age was 17 days (range: 7-55 days). The diagnosis interrupted aortic arch (IAA), septal defect (VSD), LVOTO (n = 3); IAA VSD 1); annular...
Abstract Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum ( PAIVS ) is characterized by a broad spectrum of heterogeneous morphologies. Perforation the atretic valve, balloon dilatation, and stenting patent ductus arteriosus are percutaneous techniques that used increasing frequency in our clinic as well. They have some advantages over surgery, including short hospital stay intensive care unit stay. The main goal primary interventional approach to avoid surgery. However, group patients still...
Abstract Near‐infrared spectroscopy ( NIRS ) is a noninvasive method used to evaluate tissue oxygenation. We evaluated the relationship between cerebral and renal parameters during transcatheter intervention adverse events in catheterization room. Between J anuary 1 M ay 31, 2012, 123 of 163 pediatric patients undergoing cardiac were followed by . All monitored electrocardiography, blood pressure measurement, pulse oxymetry, initial final lactate level measurement. The number interventional...
This study aimed to determine the frequency of postintervention arrhythmia and factors associated with development arrhythmia, including correlation between P-wave dispersion, effects latter on transcatheter closure atrial septal defects (ASDs).Holter ECG recordings were performed before after intervention 6 12 months later in 47 59 patients who had undergone ASD once healthy control subjects.A statistically significant was identified patients' grade according Lown's system each following:...
Abstract The rate of morbidity and mortality related to pulmonary regurgitation stenosis are big concerns after the surgery for CHD. Percutaneous valve implantation has been established as a less invasive technique compared with promising results according long-term follow-up patients. There only two approved options percutaneous until now, which Melody (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minn, USA) Sapien (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, Ca, USA). Both valves have limitations do not cover entire patient...
Levoatriocardinal vein (LACV) is characterized by an abnormal connection between pulmonary and systemic venous return. This extremely rare cardiac malformation usually associated with left-sided obstructive lesions including mitral atresia, hypoplastic left-heart syndrome, connection. Patients may have low output obstruction symptoms. In this manuscript, we report a case LACV normal return absence of any intracardiac pathology. was demonstrated echocardiography, angiography, computed...
In approximately 3% to 6% of the patients with tetralogy Fallot (TOF), pulmonary valve leaflets are absent or only a rudimentary ridge tissue is present. Some infants severe form this syndrome die early during newborn period due respiratory distress, feeding intolerance, cardiovascular compromise. Survival adulthood combination extremely unusual. article, we presented case who was diagnosed in adult age TOF having syndrome. The patient these findings underwent surgery, and complete repair...
