Introduction: This study evaluates the retrograde approach compared to the antegrade approach in infants with PA-IVS who underwent transcatheter pulmonary valvotomy procedure at National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Material And Method: This is a single-centre retrospective study conducted from January 2017 to June 2019 consisting of infants undergoing transcatheter pulmonary valvotomy procedures from our centre.

Results: Among 3733 records of cardiac catheter procedure in paediatric patients during the last 3 years, there were 12 subjects with PA-IVS, where five subjects were done by antegrade approach and seven by retrograde approach.

Introduction: Since the first successful percutaneous closure under transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) guidance, many centers explored transcatheter procedures without fluoroscopy. This single-center study is aimed to show the feasibility and safety of percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure under echocardiography-only guidance during our 1-year experience.

Methods: Patients with PDA were recruited for percutaneous PDA closure guided by either fluoroscopy or echocardiography-only in National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (ClinicalTrials.

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of oral triiodothyronine on time to extubation for infants less than 5 months undergoing heart surgery in Indonesia, and primarily relates to patients in emerging programs with high malnutrition and mortality. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, oral triiodothyronine (T3, Tetronine®) 1 μg/kg-body weight/dose or placebo (saccharum lactis) was administered via nasogastric tube every 6 h for 60 h to treatment group. A total of 120 patients were randomized into T3 (61 patients) and placebo (59 patients) groups.

Objectives: Acute pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hypertensive crisis may result in adverse clinical outcomes if unsuccessfully treated. Inhaled nitric oxide has long been considered as the standard pharmacotherapy for acute pulmonary hypertension, but lack of feasibility in some settings and evidences challenging its benefits lead to the use of alternative treatment, amongst which is nitroglycerin inhalation. The purpose of this review article is to discuss available data on the use of nitroglycerin inhalation for acute treatment of pulmonary hypertension in children with CHD and its potential benefit in post-operative setting.

Backgroud: IAA with an intact ventricular septum is distinctly unusual. Combination with an Aortopulmonary Window (APW), ascending aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery and PDA may be present which is called as Berry syndrome, a rare combination of cardiac anomalies, reported to be 0.046%, lethal combination and die shortly after birth.

We present three cases of primary arterial switch operation for extremely late presenting transposition the great arteries with intact ventricular septum: a 7-year-old female, 3-year-old male, and 6-year-old female. Two patients were discharged on postoperative day 9 and 11, the other developed hemodynamic instability 12 h after surgery and died due to left ventricular failure and pulmonary hypertension. Left ventricular mass index >35 g·m and left ventricular posterior wall >4 mm are criteria for a primary arterial switch operation.

Objective: To determine if triiodothyronine alters lactate, glucose, and pyruvate metabolism, and if serum pyruvate concentration could serve as a predictor of low cardiac output syndrome in children after cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.

Methods: This study was ancillary to the Oral Triiodothyronine for Infants and Children undergoing Cardiopulmonary bypass (OTICC) trial. Serum pyruvate was measured in the first 48 patients and lactate and glucose were measured in all 208 patients enrolled in the OTICC study on the induction of anaesthesia, 1 and 24 hours post-aortic cross-clamp removal.

Article Synopsis
  • Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a significant health concern for children and young adults in developing countries, particularly in Indonesia, where a study evaluated its clinical characteristics and management from 2012 to 2018.
  • A total of 279 patients were analyzed, revealing a higher prevalence in females, with complications like congestive heart failure in children (11.11%) and pulmonary hypertension in young adults (19.95%).
  • Reactivation of RHD was notably more frequent in children (17.2%), and the mitral valve was the most commonly affected, emphasizing issues with compliance to secondary prophylaxis for prevention.

Background: Critical pulmonary stenosis (PS) is one of the life-threatening congenital heart diseases which present during the neonatal period with cyanosis. Surgical valvotomy was once the procedure of choice for critical PS; however, balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) has now become the standard treatment. Although the procedure is usually simple, crossing the pulmonary valve from the femoral vein can be difficult, especially when severe tricuspid regurgitation and right atrium dilatation are present.

The oral triiodothyronine for infants and children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (OTICC) trial showed that Triiodothyronine (T3) supplementation improved hemodynamic and clinical outcome parameters. We tested the validity of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), derived using clinical parameters and laboratory data, by comparing the LCOS diagnosis with objective parameters commonly measured in a cardiac intensive care unit (CCU) setting. OTICC, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial included children younger than 3 years with an Aristotle score between 6 and 9.

Background: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of oral triiodothyronine (T3; Tetronine, Dalim BioTech, Korea) for infants and children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass in an Indonesian population.

Methods: We performed a single-center, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial in children aged 3 years and younger undergoing congenital heart disease operations with cardiopulmonary bypass. We administered oral T3 (1 μg/kg per body weight/dose) or placebo (saccharum lactis) by nasogastric tube every 6 hours for 60 hours after induction of anesthesia.
