It is controversial whether children with isolated aortic valvular stenosis (vAS) initially undergo transcatheter or surgical aortic valvuloplasty (BAV or SAV). This multicenter retrospective case-control study aimed to explore outcomes after BAV or SAV for pediatric vAS. We studied children (aged < 15 years) with vAS treated at 4 tertiary congenital heart centers, and compared the rates of survival, reintervention, and valve replacement between patients with BAV and SAV.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term outcomes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) linked to congenital heart disease (CHD) using a scoring system called the index of pulmonary vascular disease (IPVD), which categorizes lung pathology severity.
- Out of 764 patients under 20 years old with CHD-PAH, those with an IPVD score of 2.0 or higher experienced significantly worse survival rates, highlighting the relationship between IPVD scores and cardiovascular death.
- The findings suggest that the IPVD scoring system can help predict outcomes, indicating that patients with higher IPVD scores may require more careful treatment strategies, such as considering palliative measures before any surgical corrections.
Article Synopsis
- * Data from 594 OHCA cases shows that survival rates vary significantly based on activities (sleeping, swimming, exercising) and location (school vs. home), with notable differences in the rate of bystander CPR.
- * The analysis identifies key conditions affecting outcomes, suggesting that understanding these factors could help improve prevention and treatment strategies for pediatric OHCA.
