Diastolic runoff in the abdominal aorta, with subsequent circulatory mesenteric insufficiency, has been postulated as a cause of necrotizing enterocolitis term infants congenital heart disease. With this study we sought to determine whether Doppler-flow characteristics aorta can predict which are at specific risk, independent gestational age and type disease.We conducted case-control disease proven (n = 18) compared age-matched diagnosis-matched control subjects 20). Abdominal aortic Doppler...
Scientific advancements are occurring in cardiac xenotransplantation (XTx). However, there have been religious and social concerns surrounding this allotransplantation alternative. The purpose of study was to explore the acceptance XTx among stakeholders congenital heart disease (CHD) community.A Likert-scale anonymous survey distributed physicians nurses who care for children with CHD parents CHD. Psychosocial clinical attitudes were compared across all groups identify differences,...
Abstract Introduction In addition to an organ donor shortage, racial disparities exist at different stages of the transplantation process. Xenotransplantation (XTx) could alleviate these issues. This study describes differences in attitudes XTx among populations who may need a transplant or are recipients. Methods A Likert‐scale survey was distributed outpatient clinics parents children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and kidney patients on their pig XTx. Data from two groups were...
A dilated aortic root is a common finding in children and adults with some forms of congenital heart defects. No data exist on dilation truncus arteriosus. We sought to delineate dimensions across population patients arteriosus.We performed single-center retrospective review all Demographic information, clinical history, most recent echocardiographic were evaluated.We identified 76 whose study was at median age 5.4 years (range 0--32.7 years). Mean truncal z-score 5.1 ± 2.3. All but three...
Objective The National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative (NPC-QIC) was established in 2008 to improve outcomes of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) during the interstage period. They evaluated changes patient variables and practice variation between early late eras. Design Data including demographic, operative, discharge, follow-up from first 100 patients (6/2008–1/2010) representing 18 centers were compared with most recent (1/2014–11/2014) these same centers....
Background: Cardiac transplantation in early childhood is limited by scarcity of organ donors. Advances cardiac xenotransplantation (XTx) research suggest that xenografts may one day represent an alternative to allografts. We sought determine the attitudes among surgeons and cardiologists field pediatric toward potential use XTx if this clinical option were become a reality. Methods: A Likert-scale anonymous survey addressing patients was sent members Congenital Heart Surgeons (CHS) Society...
Abstract Background Patients after Fontan palliation represent a growing pediatric population requiring heart transplant (HTx) and often have lymphopenia (L) and/or hypogammaglobinemia that may be exacerbated by protein‐losing enteropathy (PLE, P). The post‐HTx effects of this altered immune phenotype are not well studied. Methods In study the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society Registry, 106 patients who underwent HTx between 2005 2018 were analyzed. impact PLE on graft survival, infection,...
To evaluate the impact of American Heart Association (AHA) scientific statement regarding electrocardiograms (ECGs) and stimulant medications on practice community pediatricians.Retrospective evaluation survey analysis.Academic tertiary care center.Patients with ECGs referred to our institution by pediatricians an indication medication screening in year after AHA statement.We compared ECG ordering practices outcomes further estimated associated cost before statement.Abnormal findings,...
