Treatment decisions in patients with scimitar syndrome (SS) are often challenging, especially isolated SS who asymptomatic and might be diagnosed accidentally. We queried a large multi-institutional registry of to evaluate the natural history this condition determine efficacy surgical treatment terms survival clinical status. collected data on 485 from 51 institutions; 279 (57%) were treated surgically (STPs) 206 (43%) clinically monitored (CMPs). Median age at last follow-up was 11.6 years...
Our goal was to evaluate the results of our 20-year experience with minimally invasive surgical approaches for closing ostium secundum atrial septal defects, focusing on clinical results, patient satisfaction and cost-effectiveness. We included 538 patients who underwent defects closure approaches. The right anterior minithoracotomy (n = 335, 62%), midline lower ministernotomy (135, 25%) lateral 68, 13%). Central cannulation used in 374 (69%), whereas, more recently, a remote cardiopulmonary...
Objective Arterial switch operation (ASO) is nowadays the standard of care for neonates with D-transposition great arteries (D-TGA). We evaluated our early and late results ASO D-TGA. Materials Methods collected data on 267 patients D-TGA, either intact ventricular septum (D-TGA/IVS; n = 182, 68%) other associated congenital heart malformations (complex D-TGA; 85, 32%) that underwent between January 1987 July 2018. Results Median age at was 8 days (interquartile range [IQR], 6-12 days)....
Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) represent a growing population. To evaluate frequency, type and outcomes of cardiac surgery in ACHD, we gathered data from the European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association Database 20,602 adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosis who underwent surgery, between January 1997 December 2017. We demonstrated that overall surgical workload (as absolute frequencies procedures per year) for this specific subset increased steadily during study period. The most...
The ADVANTAGE 2 prospective study showed in 156 patients with stents that dynamic stress CT perfusion improves diagnostic accuracy for the detection of territory-based ischemia beyond coronary angiography.
Introduction We sought to determine the surgical outcomes of patients with anomalous origin left coronary artery from pulmonary (ALCAPA) enrolled in European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association (ECHSA) database. Materials and Methods From 1999 2019, 907 ALCAPA underwent repair were included current study. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary frequency results concomitant mitral valve surgery postoperative mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Results overall mortality...
Objectives We sought to determine the indications, type, and outcomes of reoperations on aortic root after repair tetralogy Fallot (TOF). Methods Eleven centers belonging European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association contributed data collection process. included 36 patients who underwent surgical procedures root, including surgery valve ascending aorta, between January 1975 December 2017. Original diagnoses TOF-pulmonary stenosis (n = 18) atresia 18). The main indications for reoperation...
Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) has been considered a cause of inoperability in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Even if long-standing vasodilators are efficient to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), the best approach grant stable repair these is still unknown. We describe case 28-year-old man diagnosis untreated large ventricular septal defect and established ES. After few years vasodilator therapy, patient underwent banding significant reduction his PVR. His CHD was then...
Abstract Aims To compare the diagnostic performance of adenosine-stress dynamic myocardial perfusion assessed by CT (CTP) as compared with that coronary angiography (CCTA) alone using invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) and index microvascular resistance (IMR) standard reference. Diagnostic CCTA for in-stent restenosis (ISR) detection is still challenging. Recently, CTP demonstrated additional specificity accuracy over in patients previous stent implantation suspected IRS or progression...
