Abstract Background Ductal stenting is the preferred method of securing adequate pulmonary blood flow in patients with duct-dependent circulation. The main limitation most centers difficult vertical tubular or convoluted ducts that represent real challenges to interventional pediatric cardiologists. We present our experience patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) some technical tips overcome difficulties, especially tortuous long ducts. This study was conducted on all cyanotic congenital heart...
To evaluate the incidence of arrhythmia in early postoperative period and to identify its risk factors among pediatric patients following cardiac surgery at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between 2015-2020.Out 1242 patients, a total 821 aged <18 years who underwent were included this retrospective cohort carried out June 2021 KAUH, Arabia. Information retrieved from hospital medical records had patients' demographics, types arrhythmias, hemodynamic...
Background: Percutaneous closure of residual ventricular septal defects (VSDs) after congenital heart surgery may provide a safer and more efficient alternative to redo surgery. This study aimed evaluate the outcome transcatheter postoperative VSD. Methods: multicenter retrospective cohort was conducted at tertiary care institutions King Faisal Specialist Hospital Abdulaziz University Hospital, Saudi Arabia, from March 2012 2022. All patients who underwent VSD were included. As catheter...
Background: The quality and congeniality of the hospital educational environment (HEE) is a major determinant for success training future health professionals. Satisfactory effective engagement fellow physicians in clinical learning program ultimately affects their performance. Objectives: To evaluate assess HEE residents trainees at university Jeddah using psychometric tool, Post-graduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM). Methods: PHEEM questionnaire developed by Roff et...
Coronary artery stent implantation (CSI) in the pediatric population is rare. Only a few reports were published on managing postoperative coronary obstruction using stents following surgical repair of congenital heart diseases (CHD). This study aimed to analyze feasibility, indications, procedural technique, risk factors, and short-term outcomes CSI after cardiac surgery.In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed all patients who underwent CHD requiring two centers (King Abdulaziz...
It has been reported that systemic venovenous malformation (VVM) can develop in patients with interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) and univentricular type of congenital heart disease who undergo superior to pulmonary artery connection (Kawashima operation). These malformations lead profound desaturation postoperatively. However, there have few reports characterise the prevalence, anatomic details clinical correlations these VVM arising after Kawashima operation. In this study, we describe...
Cardiac catheterization after congenital heart surgery may play an important role in the diagnosis and management of patients with a complicated or unusual post-operative course. The main objective this study was to evaluate safety, efficacy, outcome cardiac performed early period following surgery. All who underwent during same admission from November 2015 May 2018 were included study.Thirty procedures for 27 (20 interventional 10 diagnostic). median age 15 months (15 days 20 years), weight...
Myocarditis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric age group contributes to wide range complications, including dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, even death, so early identification comprehensive management are essential for favorable outcome. Summarize presenting clinical signs symptoms patients with diagnosis myocarditis poor outcome correlate presentation laboratory radiographic findings identify possible predictors This retrospective cohort study...
Objectives: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a vital emergency procedure performed in sudden cardiac arrest victims to return spontaneous circulation and intact brain function. In emergencies, schools’ teachers kindergarten staff are expected play significant role performing CPR on children. This study aims assess the knowledge of pediatric guidelines among childhood studies students at three major universities Makkah region, Saudi Arabia. Methods: cross-sectional was conducted using...
Cardiac murmurs are a common problem in pediatric clinical practice. Studies demonstrated low accuracy detecting and diagnosing various cardiac at all levels of medical training. So, supplementary training methods started to evolve, including simulation for auscultation skills Over the years, mannequins have evolved with different types technology. Therefore, we decided compare among high-fidelity as primary objective performance postgraduate-level residents secondary objective.Pediatric...
Abstract Background Although pulmonary artery banding (PAB) has been generally acknowledged as an initial palliative treatment for patients having single ventricle (SV) physiology and unrestrictive blood flow (UPBF), it may result in unfavorable outcomes. Performing bidirectional Glenn (BDG) surgery without PAB some selected cases avoid the complications associated with reduce number of operative procedures these patients. This research aimed to assess outcome BDG performed directly doing...
Abstract Background Cardiac catheterization is usually done routinely in patients with univentricular hearts before palliative Bidirectional Glenn (BDG) surgery. The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes physiological and restrictive pulmonary flow that did not undergo routine cardiac BDG have done. We retrospectively reviewed data all single ventricle physiology blood who underwent surgery from January 2016 till December 2020. Patients were divided into two groups:...
Background: We reported our experience in managing patients with single ventricle (SV) physiology and increased pulmonary blood flow (PBF), aiming to assess if it is feasible proceed primary Bidirectional Glenn (BDG) without a prior operation limit PBF. Materials methods: This retrospective study 51 consecutive who underwent BDG as or second stage the definitive Fontan at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between 2010 2018. Patients were categorized into two...
Studies about the incidence and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children are still significantly lower than those adults. Moreover, data on effect COVID-19 with congenital heart (CHD) limited. To best our knowledge, this study first reported mortality a child CHD who acquired COVID-19.A 16-month-old boy presented to emergency department due shortness breath, fever, cough, poor oral intake. He tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). required...
Coronary artery fistula is a rare entity of congenital heart disease but the most common anomaly coronary arteries. This case report 22-years-old female diagnosed with that underwent transcatheter closure saccular fistula.
Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by decreased levels essential for Beta oxidation in various organs, including the heart. Early diagnosis and treatment of PCD can revert cardiomyopathy. A 13-year-old girl presented with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy severe cardiac dysfunction; following L treatment, patient's clinical conditions improved, functions returned normal within weeks. Investigations revealed PCD; regular has been...
