Although intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is effective therapy for Kawasaki disease, 10-20% of patients have recrudescent fever as a sign persistent inflammation and require additional treatment. We aimed to compare infliximab with second infusion IVIG treatment resistant disease.In this multicentre comparative effectiveness trial, (aged 4 weeks 17 years) disease at least 36 h after completion their first were recruited from 30 hospitals across the USA. Patients randomly assigned (1:1) (2...
This study was undertaken to assess the importance of right ventricular function at time initial presentation on early and intermediate outcome in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Several studies have attempted define physiologic risk factors for poor following Norwood palliation HLHS. No clinical or hemodynamic including been found reliably predict I operative survival. The relation between later survival has not investigated. To (RV) HLHS, systolic determined by...
OBJECTIVE. Because late diagnosis of Kawasaki disease increases the risk for coronary artery abnormalities, we explored prevalence and possible factors delayed by using database Pediatric Heart Network trial corticosteroid treatment disease. METHODS. We collected sociodemographic clinical data at presentation all patients who were treated presumed 8 centers (7 in United States, 1 Canada). Delayed was evaluated total number illness days to percentage after day 10 illness. Independent...
To derive accurate survival figures in the current surgical era for counselling early pregnancy after diagnosis of fetal hypoplastic left heart syndrome.A tertiary referral centre paediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery.A retrospective study outcome all cases syndrome presenting life between mid-1993 end 1996.The was made 30 fetuses. In four 12 identified before 24 weeks' gestation mothers chose to terminate pregnancy. There an intention treat remaining fetuses.Survival six months...
Background— We validated the clinical relevance of ventricular stiffness by examining surgical morbidity in children with univentricular hearts undergoing Fontan operation. hypothesized that affects morbidity, particularly duration pleural effusions. Methods and Results— Sixteen right (RV) (n =11) or left (LV) =5) dominance were studied intraoperatively at a median age 3.3 years (1.8 to 5.1). Transesophageal long-axis echocardiograms pressure micromanometer provided end-diastolic (P) area...
One potential source of error in phase contrast (PC) congenital CMR flow measurements is caused by offsets due to local non-compensated eddy currents. Phantom correction these offset errors has been shown result more accurate blood adults with structurally normal hearts. We report the effect phantom on PC at a clinical program. Flow was measured ascending aorta, main pulmonary artery, and right left arteries as clinically indicated, additional values such Qp/Qs were derived from...
