Non diagnosed PAPVC induce large reverse venovenous shunt after modified Fontan surgery: A case report of a rare anomaly and embolization therapy.

Fontan operation is a reliable palliative surgery for patients with single ventricle physiology. Still, the development of complication is common; one of these complications that need to interventional approach is veno-venous collaterals between systemic and pulmonary veins. A 16-yearoldgirl with a history of modified Fontan operation at 9 years ago was referred with progressive cyanosis and dyspnea on exertion.

Repolarization disparity as a predictor of response to Head up Tilt-table Test in pediatric syncope.

Background: Head up Tilt-table Test (HUTT) is a practical examination of the most common type of pediatrics syncope. The electrocardiographic (ECG) changes during this test, show the autonomic defects that cause neuraly-mediated syncope in response to tilting process.

Methods: All pediatric syncope patients referred to our center in a 1-year period, were included in the study.

Complete isolation of right subclavian artery supplied by the thoracic aorta and bilateral patent ductus arteriosus.

Disconnection of the subclavian artery from the aortic arch, defined as isolation, is a rare aortic arch anomaly. In this anomaly, loss of continuity between one subclavian artery and the aorta with persistent connection to the homocollateral pulmonary artery through a patent or remnant ductus arteriosus is present. This isolation is almost always seen on the side contralateral to the aortic arch position.

Comparison of surgical, stent, and balloon angioplasty treatment of native coarctation of the aorta: an observational study by the CCISC (Congenital Cardiovascular Interventional Study Consortium).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of surgical, stent, and balloon angioplasty (BA) treatment of native coarctation acutely and at follow-up.

Background: Controversy surrounds the optimal treatment for native coarctation of the aorta. This is the first multicenter study evaluating acute and follow-up outcomes of these 3 treatment options in children weighing >10 kg.

Stenting of aortic coarctation: acute, intermediate, and long-term results of a prospective multi-institutional registry--Congenital Cardiovascular Interventional Study Consortium (CCISC).

Introduction: Since the 1980s, stent implantation has evolved as an important therapeutic strategy for coarctation of the aorta. However, available data is frequently flawed by short follow-up, lack of adequate follow-up imaging, and retrospective nature of data collection.

Methods: Data was prospectively collected using a multicenter registry congenital cardiovascular interventional study consortium (CCISC).

Trans-catheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus-What is the best device?

Background: Over the past three decades, transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has evolved to be the procedure of choice. Gianturco and Flipper coils are the most commonly used coils in the United States for closure of small and moderate size PDAs. For larger PDAs, interventionalists in the United States commonly use the Amplatzer Duct Occluder (ADO) and those in Europe use the ADO or the Nit-Occlud Coils (NOC).

Cervical mass following carotid attempt at interventional repair of aortic coarctation: a case report.

A 4-month-old boy was admitted to our hospital following an unsuccessful attempt at interventional repair of aortic coarctation via the right carotid artery, which seemed to have given rise to the formation and growth of a cervical mass overlying the entry site. Despite the initial anticipation of difficulty during intubation due to the pressure effect of the mass, anesthesia progressed uneventfully, the mass, which was a hematoma, was evacuated, and the coarctation was repaired. The patient was discharged after the operation.
