Histone deacetylase adaptation in single ventricle heart disease and a young animal model of right ventricular hypertrophy. [PDF]
BackgroundHistone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are promising therapeutics for various forms of cardiac diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac HDAC catalytic activity and expression in children with single ventricle (SV) heart disease ...

REgistry Of Catheter AbLation After Congenital Heart Disease Surgery(REAL‐CHD Registry)
Catheter ablation for postoperative CHD‐related arrhythmias is increasingly performed in Japan and can be achieved with acceptable safety. ABSTRACT Background Advances in surgical management have improved long‐term survival in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), leading to a growing population of adults with postoperative arrhythmias. However,

Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient
ABSTRACT Patients with a univentricular heart following completion of the Fontan circulation often experience varying degrees of desaturation due to the formation of venovenous collaterals. We present a rare case of a Fontan patient with an enlarged azygous vein shunting into the pulmonary venous system, causing significant desaturation. As no standard

Pediatric heart transplantation after a Fontan procedure
The Fontan procedure is a surgical technique used for hemodynamic correction of complex congenital heart defects (CHDs), and is used when radical correction of CHDs is anatomically impossible.

Computational Simulations for Aortic Coarctation: Representative Results From a Sampling of Patients [PDF]
Treatments for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can alleviate blood pressure (BP) gradients(D), but long-term morbidity still exists that can be explained by altered indices of hemodynamics and biomechanics.

Outcomes of Fontan conversion for failing Fontan circulation: mid-term results [PDF]
We investigated the results of a revision of a previous Fontan connection to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) in patients with failing Fontan circulation.From July 1998 to April 2013, 21 patients who had failing Fontan circulation underwent revision of the previous Fontan operation to TCPC.

ABSTRACT A patient with tricuspid valve atresia and pulmonary artery valve stenosis underwent a total cavo‐pulmonary circulation with an unfenestrated intracardiac conduit. He experienced poorly tolerated atrial tachycardia and was referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). No interatrial shunt was evident.

Diminished liver microperfusion in Fontan patients: A biexponential DWI study. [PDF]
It has been demonstrated that hepatic apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) are decreasing in patients with a Fontan circulation. It remains however unclear whether this is a true decrease of molecular diffusion, or rather reflects decreased ...

Reduced brain mammillary body volumes and memory deficits in adolescents who have undergone the Fontan procedure. [PDF]
BackgroundAdolescents with single ventricle heart disease (SVHD) who have undergone the Fontan procedure show cognitive/memory deficits. Mammillary bodies are key brain sites that regulate memory; however, their integrity in SVHD is unclear. We evaluated
