Abstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate in-hospital outcomes and long-term survival patients undergoing cardiac surgery with preoperative atrial fibrillation (AF). We compared different strategies, including no-AF treatment, left appendage occlusion (LAAO) alone, concomitant surgical ablation (SA) alone or both. METHODS A retrospective analysis using the KROK registry included all diagnosis AF who underwent in Poland between January 2012 December 2022. Risk adjustment...
Prolonged length of stay in intensive care units after congenital heart disease surgery is associated with poor outcome, places a considerable burden on the financial resources hospitals, and an organizational challenge as well. This research discusses impact perioperative factors prolonged units.This retrospective study examining determinants 693 children cardiac surgery. Univariate multivariate analyses were performed for unit over 3 14 days.Neonatal age, preoperative mechanical...
To assess the hemostatic efficacy of recombinant coagulation factor VIIa (rFVIIa) in management uncontrolled bleeding postcardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass children.An open-label study.A postoperative intensive care unit.Eight consecutive pediatric patients excessive after cardiac that met criteria for reexploration and did not respond to optimal transfusions platelets fresh frozen plasma.rFVIIa 30 microg/kg was given as a bolus injection. A higher dose 60 used if patient had...
Coronary complications in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after an arterial switch operation (ASO) are relatively rare, but all possible postoperative adverse events, they potentially most dangerous. The fate coronary arteries, which transplanted during neonatal ASO, remains uncertain. There is also no consensus regarding their evaluation, especially asymptomatic patients. aim this study was to present early results routinely performed computed tomography angiography...
Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) has been used in the guidance of various transcatheter therapies including percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI). The most recently available 3D image fusion software (VesselNavigator, Philips) extends this technology to use pre-registered computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging datasets, promising reductions contrast and radiation exposure along with shorter procedural times. In retrospective review, patients were assigned...
The Tracking Outcomes and Practice in Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension (TOPP) registry is a global network established to gain insights into the disease course long-term outcomes of paediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Previously published cohorts PAH are obscured by survival bias due inclusion both prevalent (previously diagnosed) incident (newly patients. current study aims describe outcome its predictors PAH, exclusively newly diagnosed
Reoperations and catheter interventions after the arterial switch operation (ASO) are relatively rare, but their frequency varies among different centres. They significantly impact postoperative course of children with transposition great arteries (TGA). The aim this study was to assess reoperations in patients TGA ASO identify potential risk factors.For retrospective case review we included all consecutive 715 who underwent Department Cardiac Surgery between years 1991 2015. All surgical...
Modified Blalock-Taussig (B-T) shunt occlusion results in a sudden reduction of pulmonary vascular perfusion, causing dramatic saturation drop and cyanosis which pose direct hazard to child's life. The percutaneous local r-tpa infusion, balloon angioplasty additionally stent implantation obstructed modified B-T shunts were studied assess their role as an alternative re-do surgery. We outline two pediatric centers' experience (period 2004-2008) regarding the effectiveness various emergency...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the prenatal characteristics and postnatal outcome of cardiac tumors diagnosed at two Polish cardiology centers. Methods Descriptive analysis 23 fetuses with (12 multiple 11 single) over 16 years (from 1993 to 2009). Congestive heart failure was when cardiovascular profile score seven or less. Results Associated structural congenital defects were present in three fetuses, extracardiac anomalies three, chromosomal two. developed five cases. Perinatal survival...
OBJECTIVESAnatomical repair seems an ideal method for the surgical treatment of anomalous left coronary artery arising from pulmonary (ALCAPA) in infancy. The medium-term outcome has been investigated infants with ALCAPA following restoration a dual-coronary arterial circulation.
Transcutaneous pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has become an alternative to heart surgery for patients after previous right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) or artery (PA) surgical interventions. The objective was present immediate and long-term outcomes of trans¬cutaneous replacement.Between 06/2009 06/2016, 46 underwent TPVR. Initial diagnoses included tetralogy Fallot, common arterial trunk, transposition great arteries post Rastelli correction, left ventricle obstruction Ross...
The efficacy of coronary venous retroinfusion superoxide dismutase and catalase was studied in anesthetized closed chest dogs with 90-min left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion followed by 3-h reperfusion. In group A, (2.5 mg/kg) were administered a 30-min continuous right atrial infusion beginning 15 min before reperfusion supplemented bolus injection through the great cardiac vein immediately treatment B similar to that except into atrium. control (group C), saline same manner as...
OBJECTIVESNeoaortic root changes in children with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) are reportedly risk factors for development neoaortic regurgitation (NeoAR). The aims this study were to assess diameter and relative proportion TGA after surgical correction identify possible correlations insufficiency.
Introduction: Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) is present in about 3-10% of live-born newborns and it as high 20-30% developing countries.Since the 1990s, has been known that abnormalities during foetal may result cardiovascular disease, including hypertension adulthood.Methods: This study evaluated blood pressure parameters (using ambulatory monitoring) children aged six to 10 years old, born small for gestational age (SGA), compared them their healthy peers appropriate...
Abstract Introduction: Coronary artery complications are the main reason for early mortality after an arterial switch operation. Late relatively rare, and there is no consensus regarding need or indications routine follow-up coronary evaluations best first-line assessment modality. The aim of this study was to present long-term post-operative frequency abnormalities in asymptomatic patients with transposition great arteries discovered by CT angiography potential “red flags” revealed other...
Ectopia cordis (EC) is a rare malformation due to failure of maturation the midline mesodermal components chest and abdomen. It can be defined as complete or partial displacement heart outside thoracic cavity. comprises 0.1% congenital diseases. Common cardiac anomalies associated with EC are ventricular septal defect, atrial tetralogy Fallot. additional usually lead intrauterine death. The possibility efficacy surgery in surviving neonate depends on degree EC, coexisting defects...
