Accuracy of transesophageal echocardiography in the identification of postoperative intramural ventricular septal defects
August 2, 2016
This single institution study evaluated the accuracy of intraoperative TEE to identify residual intramural ventricular septal defects after repair of conotruncal defects.  Intramural VSDs occurred in 10% of 337 pts; postoperative TTE identified all, intraoperative TEE identified 19.  Of abnormalities requiring catheterization or reoperation, 6 of 7 w
Mortality Following Congenital Heart Surgery in Adults Can Be Predicted Accurately by Combining Expert-Based and Evidence-Based Pediatric Risk Scores

Prediction of imminent, severe deterioration of children with parallel circulations using real-time processing of physiologic data
June 4, 2016
In order to develop an algorithm for identifying acute deterioration (urgent intubation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation) in infants with parallel systemic and pulmonary circulation, continuous physiologic monitoring data of 25 patients were retrospecitively reviewed and analyzed.  20 events were identified in 13 infants.  The algorithm was effective
