Summary Background : Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive optical monitor of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO 2 ). The aim this study was to validate the use NIRS by oximetry in estimating invasively measured mixed venous (SvO ) pediatric postoperative cardiac surgery patients. Methods Twenty patients were enrolled following with intraoperative placement pulmonary artery (PA) or superior vena cava (SVC) catheter. Five underwent complete biventricular repair –...
Summary Background Adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes are observed in up to 50% of infants after complex cardiac surgery. We sought determine the association perioperative anesthetic exposure with at age 12 months neonates undergoing surgery and effect brain injury determined by magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ). Methods Retrospective cohort study who had preoperative 7‐day postoperative 12‐month testing Bayley Scales Infant Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley‐ III Doses volatile...
This article presents 21 “Quality Measures for Congenital and Pediatric Cardiac Surgery” that were developed approved by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) endorsed Heart Surgeons’ (CHSS). These Quality are organized according to Donabedian’s Triad Structure, Process, Outcome. It is hoped these quality measures can aid in congenital pediatric cardiac surgical assessment improvement initiatives.
Background: Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (CA) is the second leading cause sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Management controversial and longitudinal follow-up data are sparse. We aim to evaluate outcomes prospective study anomalous CA patients following standardized algorithm. Methods: Patients with were followed prospectively from December 2012 April 2017. All evaluated algorithm, reviewed by dedicated multidisciplinary team. Assessment myocardial perfusion was...
Background The cardiovascular effects of halogenated anesthetic agents in children with normal hearts have been studied, but data cardiac disease are limited. This study compared the halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, and fentanyl-midazolam on systemic pulmonary hemodynamics myocardial contractility patients congenital heart disease. Methods Fifty-four younger than age 14 scheduled to undergo surgery were randomized receive or fentanyl-midazolam. Cardiovascular echocardiographic recorded at...
Eight beagles receiving heterotopic (cervical) cardiac allografts from outbred donors were evaluated by serial 31P NMR, septal endocardial biopsy, and left ventricular pressure measurements for signs of rejection. Early postoperative myocardial energy levels, as assessed ratios phosphocreatine to inorganic phosphate (PCr/Pi) beta-ATP (PCr/B-ATP), acceptable in all recipients. In these nonimmunosuppressed animals, the mean PCr/Pi PCr/B-ATP progressively decreased, with a greater than 25%...
When there is partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior caval vein, intracardiac repair alone can result in obstruction. Although Warden procedure involving translocation of vein commonly performed as an alternative atriocavoplasty, follow-up a larger number patients modern era lacking. We report and discuss experience single institution with for correction vein.Since 1995, all 16 presenting underwent at mean age 7.1 +/- 4.2 years, range from 0.2 14.3 weight 24.7 14.0...
Background: Because of venous occlusion, intracardiac shunting, previous surgery, or small size placement implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) leads may not be possible using traditional methods. The purpose this study was to evaluate and describe innovative methods placing ICD leads. Methods: records all patients undergoing implantation at our institution were reviewed identify with nontraditional lead placement. Indications for ICD, method coil placement, defibrillation thresholds,...
