Endocardial ablation of the left atrial posterior wall has been used to treat fibrillation. Aim study was evaluate its efficacy looking for pattern allowing a fast execution with limited interference on contractility. Moreover statistical analysis identify predictors long-term sinus rhythm recovery provided.From April 1998 May 2002, 95 patients permanent (mean duration 65 months) or persistent (33%) fibrillation have undergone three different patterns, only 1 patient being affected by lone...
Abstract Acute myocarditis leading to severe heart failure in paediatric patients is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition. The prompt implant of mechanical circulatory devices such as veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation remains the best treatment option restore adequate perfusion and improve patient survival case refractory cardiogenic shock cases. While few reports describe in-hospital course this dramatic disease, with mortality under support around 30%,...
Background: Every year, around 15 million children, in developing countries, die or develop life-long disabilities because of congenital cardiac diseases. In this report we measure the effect a pediatric surgery humanitarian project on health individual and potential influence has countries economy its growing services. Methods: We collected analyzed data from Italian NGO, Mission Bambini's database, including all missions undertaken Cambodia between 2012 2019. DALY's (Disability Adjusted...
Background: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) represent the main cause of mortality associated with defects in newborns. Due to last decades developments, 95% children CHD are reported survive adulthood. This wide population adults, known as GUCH, now significantly exceeds pediatric and is continuously increasing. Methods/Results: We retrospectively enrolled 807 GUCH patients, aged 18 years over, who underwent cardiac surgery between January 1993 December 2022. Data were analyzed dividing...
Chronic pulmonary valve (PV) regurgitation is a common late sequela after repair of congenital heart diseases like tetralogy Fallot or stenosis, leading to right ventricular dilatation and failure increased morbidity mortality. Timely reoperation may lead complete recovery. An injectable PV allows replacement, with without cardiopulmonary bypass, under direct observation, thereby minimizing the impact surgery on cardiac function. The aim this study was evaluate feasibility mid- long-term...
Mitral valve replacement in infants is challenging and there are limited alternative valves available. Since the Boston group published their first report on for mitral infants, has been a growth literature topic, mostly based use of stented bovine jugular vein graft (Melody® valve). The challenges Melody firstly its length 28 mm unexpanded, which potential to cause left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, secondly, needs mechanical dilatation, laborious. A modified No-React® Injectable...
Background-Aim: Transannular patch (TAP) repair of tetralogy Fallot (TOF) leads to chronic volume overload and significant late morbidity mortality. The pulmonary valve (PV) sparing strategy reduces regurgitation with better long-term prognosis. aim this study is examine the determinants for a successful PV-sparing strategy, by exploring PV morphology, annulus diameter, Z-scores right/left ventricle pressures (Prv/Plv) ratio. Methods: From January 2005 May 2017, 79 patients underwent TOF...
Introduction: Aortic coarctation (AoC) occurs in 5–7% of all congenital heart diseases. This retrospective study aims to describe mid and long-term outcomes patients undergoing simple AoC repair. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 63 who underwent repair between 2008 2018. 40(63%) were neonates, 11 infants, 6 children, adults. 29(46%) males. 20 end-to-end anastomosis 33 extended anastomosis, 8 prosthetic patch aortoplasty or interposition grafting, 2 extra-anatomic bypass. (12.7%) had...
