- The study investigated the effects of postoperative necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) on neurodevelopmental outcomes in children who underwent cardiac surgery in their infancy.
- A total of 101 neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) were examined, revealing that NEC resulted in longer stays in the intensive care unit and hospital compared to those without NEC.
- The findings indicated that children with NEC had significantly lower cognitive and motor scores on a developmental assessment tool at one year old, underscoring the negative impact of NEC on neurodevelopment.
Right ventricle-dependent coronary circulation coexisting with left main coronary atresia in the setting of pulmonary atresia-intact ventricular septum is rare. In the case described, the left coronary artery (LCA) origin from the aorta could not be found on conventional angiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. During surgery, multiple LCA branches originating from the finger-like continuum of the primitive right ventricular sinusoidal network were observed.
