Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (ePCWP) on infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by examining data from cardiac catheterizations performed between 2010 and 2021.
- Out of 71 infants, 42% had ePCWP, which was linked to older age, higher systemic blood pressure, increased vascular resistance, and lower cardiac index.
- The findings suggest a need for further research into managing high afterload in infants with severe BPD, as ePCWP was common but did not correlate with echocardiographic measures of left ventricular dysfunction.
Objective: To evaluate associations between cardiac catheterization (cath) hemodynamics, quantitative measures of right ventricular (RV) function by echocardiogram, and survival in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
Study Design: This single-center retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with CDH who underwent index cath from 2003 to 2022. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion z score, RV fractional area change, RV free wall and global longitudinal strain, left ventricular (LV) eccentricity index, RV/LV ratio, and pulmonary artery acceleration time were measured from preprocedure echocardiograms.
Recurrence of subaortic stenosis (SAS) after surgery is common in children. The effects of patient characteristics and surgical timing on disease recurrence are largely unknown. We performed a retrospective study, assessing the relative effects of patient age and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient on the need for reoperation for recurrent SAS.

Three outlets from the heart have been previously named the "Tritruncal Heart". We review the two previously reported cases of tritruncal hearts and describe the anatomy, diagnosis, surgical management, and outcome of our case.
