Treatment of adult congenital heart disease patients who require advanced therapies remains challenging due to high perioperative and wait-list mortality limited donors. Patients palliated with Fontan are at the highest risk early multiorgan involvement few centers able safely transplant them. We sought evaluate outcomes transplants in these patients.Using Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, we identified all adults aged least 18 years old underwent transplantation across U.S. hospitals...
Fontan-associated liver disease universally affects adults with single ventricle heart disease. Chronic kidney is also highly prevalent in adult Fontan patients. In this study, we evaluate the relationship of hemodynamics invasively and noninvasively extra-cardiac dysfunction as measured by MELD MELD-XI.We hypothesize that invasive noninvasive measures circuit congestion ventricular are associated increased MELD-XI scores.Single-center data from palliation who had ongoing care, including...
Purulent pericarditis is a rare diagnosis with life-threatening implications due to the rapid accumulation of pericardial material, swiftly progressing tamponade physiology. The nature its quickly evolving and severe demands low threshold for diagnostic consideration where appropriate. We present an unusual case purulent secondary Streptococcus intermedius in previously healthy male adolescent without traditional risk factors, which raises question whether emergent S. species may have...
A 49-year-old female with congenitally corrected (or levo-) transposition of the great arteries complicated by nonischemic cardiomyopathy presented for worsening heart failure despite guideline-directed medical therapy and was found to be in cardiogenic shock. She successfully underwent ventricular assist device placement a HeartMate III her systemic right ventricle as bridge transplantation.
Given increased survival for adults with CHD, we aim to determine outcome differences of infective endocarditis compared patients structurally normal hearts in the general population.
OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The morbidity and mortality in adults with single ventricular hearts who have undergone Fontan palliation is poorly defined. These patients a high burden of arrhythmia, heart failure, re-operation. We hypothesized that age type predict occurrence arrhythmia. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In total, 205 aged 18 years had procedure were identified. Those incomplete data excluded. Demographic, anatomic, pharmacologic, imaging, hemodynamic, electrophysiologic collected. χ 2...
An 11-year-old, previously healthy boy presented to the emergency center (EC) for acute respiratory distress in setting of 5 months recurrent and worsening rash with progressive fatigue, shortness breath, chest pain, cough. At onset his rash, he younger brothers were diagnosed roseola. Although brothers’ symptoms resolved, patient’s recurred, prompting primary care provider prescribe amoxicillin. The subsequently worsened, so amoxicillin was stopped; a prednisone course prescribed which...
