Congenital - Cyanotic
Tetralogy of Fallot with an absent pulmonary valve is physiologically distinctive from other forms of TOF due to tracheobronchial compression resulting from massive dilatation of the main pulmonary artery and branches and abnormal branching of...
This study addressed the long-term results of the réparation à l’étage ventriculaire (REV) procedure for double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with pulmonary stenosis...
A ten-month-old, 9.4 kg infant with heterotaxy syndrome presented with cyanosis. The cardiac diagnosis was a double outlet right ventricle with complete atrioventricular septal defect and multilevel right ventricular outflow...
The first domino transplant procedure performed on infants was successfully completed recently in New York City. One patient needed a heart transplant because of cardiomyopathy and was able to donate...
A glimpse of what could be a future for surgery……….
...Delvin and associates reported the long-term outcomes and quality of life in patients with d-TGA after repair using data from 24 centers of the Congenital Heart Surgeons’ Society (CHSS). Among...
Bauser-Heaton and colleagues evaluated outcomes for patients with complex tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs), focusing on those patients who underwent unifocalization with placement...
This is a cohort study from the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium based on data from 616 patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) treated between 1982 and 2003....
Migally and colleagues retrospectively evaluated data from the Pediatric Heart Network Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial to determine whether regional cerebral perfusion (RCP) affected outcomes for neonates undergoing the Norwood operation....
Objectives Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with absent pulmonary valve syndrome and massively dilated pulmonary arteries may present with severe airway compression. Neonates who present with severe airway compression are difficult...
The first stage of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) palliation typically occurs within the first week of life. There are three competing surgical strategies for this palliation: the Norwood procedure...
Fuhrman and colleagues investigated the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in young adults with congenital heart disease undergoing a surgical procedure, a group of patients that is increasing in...
Park and colleagues sought to identify risk factors that could predict the need for systemic outflow relief operations (SORO) in newborn patients with transposed great arteries and either double-inlet left...
