Pulmonary vein stenosis has recently been recognized as a complication of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. This study evaluates the presentation affected patients and role transcatheter therapy this patient population.This used retrospective review data from 19 (age, 51+/-13 years) with pulmonary who underwent catheterization angiography between December 2000 2002. Quantitative perfusion spiral CT scans were performed initial diagnosis follow-up. The median duration reported...
To evaluate postdiscovery outcome of coronary artery fistulae (CAF). CAF treatment sequelae and risk factors for thrombosis have not been adequately evaluated.Outcome on follow-up 16 patients with was reviewed. Risk adverse events were assessed based type, size, CAF.Median age 10 years (0.01-56). Seven had large, four medium, five small sizes CAF. Eight proximal 8 distal type There 7 in the intervention group (IG) 9 nonintervention (NIG). In IG, 1 myocardial infarction (MI) <24 hr following...
Background— We sought to determine the safety and efficacy of Cutting Balloon therapy (CB) compared with conventional high-pressure balloon (HPB) for treatment pulmonary artery stenosis. Methods Results— This prospective, randomized, multicenter, investigational device exemption trial CB HPB. Patient eligibility was determined at precatheterization assessment; vessel catheterization. In all vessels, low-pressure dilation 8 atm performed, if it not successful, randomized or The primary...
Background: Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) presenting in infancy are rare, and data regarding postclosure sequelae follow-up limited. Methods: A retrospective review of all the neonates infants (<1 year) was conducted from CAF registry for treatment. The type (proximal or distal), size, treatment method, angiography were reviewed to assess outcomes coronary remodeling. Results: Forty-eight patients included 20 centers. Of these, 30 proximal 18 had distal CAF; 39 large, 7 medium, 2 small...
This study retrospectively analyzed the data within U.S. Multicenter Registry for Rotational Ablation to determine incidence of coronary perforation during rotational ablation, its angiographic predictors and clinical outcomes 2953 consecutive patients, 3717 lesions. Patients were categorized into Group A (without perforation, N = 2931) B (with 22 patients). Perforation occurred in 0.7% procedures, 0.6% lesions treated was more frequent right (12/ 1105, 1.1%) circumflex (9/761, 1.2%)...
Abstract Placement of intravascular stents that can reach adult size in infants and smaller children has been limited by the large profile poor flexibility currently available stents. In vitro vivo testing Genesis stent was performed to evaluate crimpability, predeployment flexibility, radial strength. Comparisons were made Palmaz iliac IntraStent (IS) LD Nine physicians placed 30 swine pulmonary systemic arteries deliverability/crimpability. Two recovered underwent a second catheterization...
We compared signal-averaged electrocardiography with invasive electrophysiological study in patients after surgical repair of congenital heart disease to determine if potentially useful correlations exist between the two methods for assessment risk ventricular tachycardia. Thirty-one (age, 1-49 years; mean, 10.6 years) repaired right ventriculotomy or postrepair bundle branch block (77% postoperative tetralogy Fallot) who had were studied electrocardiography. Patients classified by results...
Abstract Patients with complex congenital heart disease may have pulmonary artery stenoses that are either or associated scarring following surgical procedures. This study evaluates cutting balloon angioplasty for small‐vessel resistant to standard angioplasty. Between October 1998 and December 1999, patients were enrolled in an FDA‐approved compassionate‐use protocol. During four catheterizations, there seven lesions found (mean lesion diameter was unchanged: 1.8 mm ± 0.8 1.9 mm). A...
One or more breaks in the wire frame of HELEX Septal Occluder (W.L. Gore and Associates, Flaggstaff, Arizona) were identified 5% patients multicenter pivotal trial leading to FDA approval. Fractures perimeter have not previously been associated with any apparent deleterious clinical effects. We report a case which broken ends at fracture located position that resulted perforation anterior mitral valve leaflet. There was significant regurgitation device removed surgically. The possible...
Obesity is prevalent among patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Obese HCM have greater wall thickness, LV mass, worse hemodynamic function and NYHA class. Weight loss may favorably influence the phenotype.We describe six who lost weight through diet lifestyle changes (n = 4) or bariatric surgery 2). Radiographic imaging, cardiac MRI CT scan, was performed before after their loss. There a mean decrease in mass indexed numerical thickness up to 14 out of 18 segments. also class...
Interpretation of signal-averaged electrocardiograms (SAECG) in the young could be value detecting those at risk for episodic ventricular tachycardia, but suffers from a lack data normal people. The purpose this study is to determine values QRS duration and amplitude terminal potentials on SAECG adults. Thirty-two medical students were examined. With high pass filtering 25 Hz, total (QRS) varied as function sex body size whereas low signal (LAS) did not. Ninety-five percent confidence limits...
To identify complications and measures that can be undertaken to prevent from transhepatic central venous access.Utility safety data a large experience of patients undergoing access are lacking.The records who underwent between June 2000 October 2012 at The Center for Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Cleveland Clinic were reviewed.One hundred twenty-four procedures performed in 81 patients. median weight the was 6.3 (2.2-94) kg age 7 months (2 weeks 35 years).
