Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a multi-institutional retrospective study, analyzing data from 1,117 post-Fontan patients and identifying key risk factors such as high central venous pressure (CVP) and severe atrioventricular valve regurgitation.
- * Findings indicate that patients exhibiting high CVP and/or severe valve problems approximately one year post-surgery are at higher risk for severe liver disease, suggesting a need for further investigation into whether reducing these factors could lower disease incidence. *
Background: The choice of appropriate treatment in children with aortic valvular lesions remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to assess early and late outcomes of aortic valve replacement with annular enlargement in children.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 16 consecutive patients aged 0.
Background: Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is associated with a multitude of lesions ranging from isolated ventricular septal defect to hypoplastic left ventricle or severe subaortic stenosis (SAS). Left ventricular outflow obstruction such as SAS continues to be an important factor for deciding the surgical procedure between univentricular and biventricular repairs.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 8 consecutive infants aged 14 to 117 days and operated on between 2004 and 2009.
Operative correction of tetralogy of Fallot has been performed for more than 50 years and well established. To date, the literature on reoperation has focused and indications and the long-term outcome have not been well defined. We herein report a case of pulmonary valve replacement due to ectopic ossification on expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) cusp in a female child who had undergone right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction for tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.
