Intravascular (Palmaz) stents have been successfully implanted in patients with congenital and acquired branch pulmonary stenosis. Early results are excellent; however, there is no information on restenosis repeat dilation heart disease. The purpose of this study to review the incidence demonstrate safety efficacy group patients.Of 94 163 single-center study, 43 73 underwent recatheterization. Only 2 restudied (3%) developed significant restenosis. In 20 patients, 30 were redilated. At stent...
Abstract Objectives: Determine the long‐term outcomes of branch pulmonary artery (PA) stents. Background: PA stents in congenital heart disease effectively relieve stenoses short‐term. Published data are limited. Methods : Patients enrolled an FDA IDE protocol from 1989–92 were included. Clinical follow‐up and catheterization evaluated. included if >5 year was available or mortality occurred following initial procedure. Results There five deaths: four due to progression their underlying...
Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Methods We present the first described case of using two leadless systems manufactured by separate companies implanted within same patient to provide atrial and ventricular due complex anatomy. Results A 27‐year‐old male dextrocardia double outlet right ventricle, subaortic septal defect, pulmonary stenosis status‐post valve replacement complicated dependence...
The presence of an intra-atrial patch (IAP) has been considered a relative contraindication to transseptal puncture (TSP). purpose this study is determine the efficacy and safety TSP through baffles, conduits, pericardial patches other prosthetic materials in septum. We reviewed records all pediatric patients with IAP who underwent at Texas Children's Hospital from November 1979 February 1998. review included cardiac diagnoses, indications for TSP, technical difficulties follow up...
Because late repair of coarctation the aorta (COA) is associated with premature cardiovascular disease in adult life, early detection and treatment important.To determine timing referral to see whether COA has improved past decade, evaluate pattern reasons for medical center referral, assess clinical signs relating diagnosis COA.The records 50 consecutive patients older than 1 year who had surgical from 1980 1990 were reviewed. The age presence standard analyzed, data compared those previous...
Abstract Objectives We aimed to evaluate the effect of technical aspects fetal aortic valvuloplasty (FAV) on procedural risks and pregnancy outcomes. Background FAV is performed in cases severe mid‐gestation stenosis with goal preventing hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Methods The International Fetal Cardiac Intervention Registry was queried for fetuses who underwent from 2002 2018, excluding one high‐volume center. Results 108 had an attempted cardiac puncture (mean gestational age...
Introduction: There is limited data on medium to long-term outcome, and the morbidity mortality associated with implantation, of pulmonary arterial stents. Purpose: To assess changes in over last two decades. Methods: Retrospective analysis all patients stented between September, 1989 July, 2001. Results: We implanted 664 Palmaz stents 338 patients. The overall number included 229 who had undergone repair tetralogy Fallot, whom 468 were implanted, 61 congenital stenosis branches trunk, we...
Abstract Objective: To describe incidence, characteristics, predictive factors, and sequelae of stent fractures in congenital heart disease. Background: Stent fracture disease patients is rarely reported. Methods: Patients with stents implanted from 1990 to 2006, subsequent fluoroscopy were enrolled. Information obtained included: type, location, balloon diameter, residual narrowing. Fracture radiographic appearance, clinical also those identified. Results: Two hundred sixty‐five (583...
To determine the short and intermediate term outcome following systemic venous stent placement in children with congenital heart disease.Patients disease are at risk of stenosis or occlusion veins indwelling lines catheterizations. Stent dilation may ameliorate symptoms open vessel for use during future procedures. We report our acute results.All patients iliofemoral veins, inferior superior vena cava institution between 1998 2006 were included. Initial follow-up catheterization data...
Abstract Background : Balloon angioplasty of bifurcating pulmonary artery (PA) stenoses is often inadequate, and stent treatment requires simultaneous implantation two stents. This study evaluates initial results long‐term follow up transcatheter placement in PAs. Methods a retrospective review patients (pts) who had PA stents placed main lobar branches from 1993 to 2007. Results Forty‐nine pts at median age 10.9 years (range 1–43 years). The mean minimum vessel diameter increased 5.7 ± 2.5...
Abstract Objectives Evaluate the incidence of various morphologic types congenital AS, and association between valve morphology long‐term outcomes, including repeat BAV, AVR, death/transplant. Background Reports on outcomes have low agreement influence type. Methods We queried our institutional database hospital billing records to identify all patients who underwent balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) from 1992 through 2009. excluded cases where was not clear based description in pre‐BAV...
