Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare condition that can lead to worsening pulmonary hypertension and cardiac failure in children, it frequently lethal. Surgical transcatheter approaches are acutely successful but restenosis common rapid.We reviewed outcomes among patients who underwent stent implantation for congenital or postoperative PVS at <18 years of age. A total 74 veins were stented with bare metal, drug-eluting, covered stents 47 patients. Primary diagnoses included associated...
Echocardiography is the mainstay for diagnosing congenital heart disease (CHD). Diagnostic errors can lead to suboptimal surgical outcomes. This multicenter pediatric echocardiography collaborative learning initiative explores reasons diagnostic errors, investigates associations between patient- and center-specific factors relays benefits of a approach decrease these as first step improve CHD Participating centers submitted evaluations on patients prior 2-ventricle repair into central...
In patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a better understanding the impact surgical pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) on ventricular mechanics may lead to improved indications and outcomes. Therefore, we used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking analysis quantify strain synchrony in TOF before after PVR.
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a progressive disease that frequently lethal. We have previously identified neoproliferation of myofibroblasts as the mechanism for intraluminal PVS. PVS occurs in association with other congenital heart diseases (CHD) and structurally normal hearts. This study sought to describe spectrum CHD seen explore risk factors associated mortality.All patients diagnosed over 12-year period combination involving ≥2 vessels were identified. Cases categorized according...
Malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis are significant problems in patients on hemodialysis. A prospective, observational study 100 hemodialysis for 2 years was conducted. The primary outcomes were hospitalizations mortality at the end of years. mean age 61 ± 11.3 69% male. Seven did not complete (five underwent transplant two shifted to other units). Serum albumin significantly lower malnourished 6 months from beginning period (3.58 vs. 3.79 g/dl, P = 0.001). Malnutrition based...
Right ventricular (RV) functional assessment is mainly limited to its longitudinal contraction. Dedicated three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) software enabled the separate of non-longitudinal components RV ejection fraction (EF). The aims this study were (i) establish normal values for 3D-derived longitudinal, radial, and anteroposterior EF (LEF, REF, AEF, respectively) their relative contributions global RVEF, (ii) calculate 3D strain values, (iii) determine sex-, age-, race-related...
Background Surgical management of tetralogy Fallot (TOF) is increasingly moving toward valve-sparing approaches rather than transannular patch (TAP). We evaluate whether fetal pulmonary valve (PV) size predictive postnatal course and surgical approach in TOF. Methods In this retrospective study, demographic, clinical, echocardiographic data on 66 patients diagnosed prenatally with TOF were collected. compared those midgestation PV z-score > −3.5 to ≤−3.5. analyzed growth outcomes between...
We studied the accuracy of spot urine protein creatinine ratio (SpUr-PCR) to assess 24 h excretion (24 h-UP) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A total 100 proteinuric CKD stages 3 and 4 were studied. was collected measure h-UP creatinine. random day time sample analyzed PCR. formula estimate derived from linear regression analysis a correction factor introduced whether this improves SpUr PCR predicting h-UP. Accuracy SpUr-PCR assessed by Pearson's correlation, analysis, Bland...
