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...

The objective of this study was to examine the effects iloprost and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injuries gastrocnemius muscle, following occlusion-reperfusion period in abdominal aorta rats.Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four equal groups. Group 1: control group. 2 (IR): occluded. clamp removed after 1 hour ischemia. Blood samples muscle tissue specimens collected a 2-hour reperfusion period. 3 (IR + iloprost): during 1-hour ischemia period,...

In this study, we analyzed the impact of pulmonary valve-sparing techniques on early and midterm postoperative results tetralogy Fallot repair.A total 64 patients diagnosed with Fallot, who underwent correction operation by same surgeon between November 2010 September 2015 were included in retrospective study. Mean age was 20.0±14.2 months (5.5-96 months). Forty (62.5%) male. Thirty two (50%) under one year age. Pulmonary performed 29 (Group 2), while transannular patch applied remaining 35...

In this study, we present the outcomes of hybrid and Norwood Stage I procedures for treatment hypoplastic left heart syndrome its variants.In a total 97 pediatric patients who were operated due to variants between March 2011 October 2018 retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-two (28 males, 4 females; median age 5 days; range, 1 25 days) underwent operation (Group N), while remaining 65 (44 21 6 55 procedure H). Both strategies compared.The body weight in Group H was significantly lower number...

Abstract Objective: We aimed to determine the early and midterm outcomes of ductal stenting in neonates with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow. Methods: Between January, 2014 July, 2018, 102 patients who underwent 115 cardiac catheterisation procedures for stent implantation our department were retrospectively reviewed. The age ranged from 3 30 days (median: 11 days) their weights 1.8 5.8 kg (mean, 2.8 ± 0.53 kg). Fifty-two had functional single ventricle 50 biventricular physiology....

There are different surgical methods for the repair of persistent left superior vena cava that connects directly to atrium. We describe an extracardiac technique includes direct anastomosis right atrium with atrial flap and autologous pericardium. have performed this procedure in four cases there is no obstruction at postoperative control studies. Right a feasible offers growth potential.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is widely used after congenital heart surgery. The purpose of this study to analyze the neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes in patients who receivedECMO support cardiac surgery.Between January 2014 and 2021, 111 (5.8%) operations, 29 (26,1%) these were discharged. Fifteen met inclusion criteria included. A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis model was established using eight variables (age, weight, sex, Modified Aristotle Comprehensive...

Abstract Objective: After congenital heart surgery, some patients may need long-term mechanical ventilation because of chronic respiratory failure. In this study, we analysed outcomes the who tracheostomy and home ventilation. Methods: Amongst 1343 underwent surgery between January, 2014 June, 2018, 45 needed HMV. The median age these was 6.4 months (12 days–6.5 years). Nineteen palliation while 26 total repair. Post-operative diaphragm plication performed in five (11%). Median duration...

Different systems for delivering tumescent solution exist in endovenous laser ablation (EVLA). This study evaluated three different delivery patients with primary varicose veins due to great saphenous vein reflux who were treated EVLA. In this prospective non-randomized study, 60 isolated GSV divided into groups. All received EVLA treatment. Three used.
