Protein Losing Enteropathy following Fontan Palliation in the Single Ventricle Population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Congenital heart defects requiring single ventricle palliation are a rare but life-threatening occurrence. There are multiple defects resulting in single ventricle physiology including defects in which the right or left ventricle within the heart is ...

Evaluation of critical congenital heart defects screening using pulse oximetry in the neonatal intensive care unit. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
ObjectiveTo evaluate the implementation of early screening for critical congenital heart defects (CCHDs) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and potential exclusion of sub-populations from universal screening.Study designProspective evaluation of ...

Closure of a Late‐Onset Iatrogenic Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Caused by Erosion of an Apical Muscular VSD Device

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 3‐year‐old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow‐up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion.

Preferential associated anomalies in 818 cases of microtia in South america [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The etiology of microtia remains unknown in most cases. The identification of patterns of associated anomalies (i.e., other anomalies that occur with a given congenital anomaly in a higher than expected frequency), is a methodology that has been used for

Novel Transthoracic Pulmonary Valve Implantation Using Self‐Expanding Salus Valve: A Prospective Study of Safety and Mid‐Term Outcomes

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has emerged as a valuable treatment for severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR). The Salus valve (Balance Medical Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing, China) represents a novel self‐expanding valve stent designed for deployment through a transthoracic approach with a small subxiphoid incision ...

Emergent Cardiac Surgery After Transcatheter Structural Heart Procedures: Narrative Review

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter structural heart procedures have become standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risk. Over time, these procedures have significantly increased worldwide, accompanied by a concomitant reduction of major complications, including those requiring emergent cardiac surgery (ECS).

Hybrid Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement With SAPIEN S3 Following Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reduction Using Tricuspid Annuloplasty Rings

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a novel variation of hybrid TPVR using a tricuspid annuloplasty ring which can be considered for patients with very large RVOT, short pulmonary artery, and limited vascular access and to avoid the risk of cardiopulmonary bypass. The utilization of Carpentier‐Edwards Physio Tricuspid annuloplasty ring can reduce the size of the RVOT

Pressure‐Wire Guided Hybrid Branch Pulmonary Artery Band Placement for Palliation of Single Ventricle and Critical Congenital Cardiac Lesions

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Historically, bilateral pulmonary artery band (PAB) placement was guided by pulmonary blood flow surrogates including systemic blood pressure (BP) and arterial saturation. These metrics alone may result in suboptimal bPAB placement.

Ethnical variations in the incidence of congenital heart defects in Gorgan, Northern Iran: A single-center study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. This study was performed to determine the live birth incidence of CHD by ethnicity and sex in Gorgan, Northern Iran.
