Article Synopsis
- Surgeons often leave a residual atrial-level communication during Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repairs, and this study aimed to see how closing this communication affects patient recovery.
- The researchers reviewed records of 132 TOF patients who had surgery before 12 months old, comparing outcomes between those with and without the communication.
- The results showed no significant differences in key recovery metrics like cardiac output, drug therapy duration, or intensive care stay, suggesting that closing the communication doesn't significantly alter short-term or mid-term recovery outcomes.
Purpose: To assess effectiveness of selective lymphatic duct embolization (SLDE) for treatment of thoracic lymphatic flow disorders, performed to maintain patency of the thoracic duct (TD), compared with that of TD embolization (TDE).
Materials And Methods: Records of 39 patients (mean age, 7.6 years [SD ± 7.
Breast Milk and Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Congenital Heart Disease: A Case-Control Study.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
November 2024
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a complication that can affect infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). The objective of this study is to determine whether breast milk, which is associated with decreased incidence of NEC in preterm infants, is protective in infants with CHD. Retrospective case-control study of infants ≥ 33 weeks gestational age with CHD who underwent cardiac surgery during their admission to the Infant Cardiac Unit from 2008 to 2017.

In this work, a new dimension is introduced by investigating the effect of using substrate-interlayers for diamond growth. Boron and nitrogen co-doped nanocrystalline diamond (BNDD) films are grown on Si substrate without and with Ti and Ta as interlayers, named BNDD/Si, BNDD/Ti/Si, and BNDD/Ta/Ti/Si, respectively.
