3D Echocardiographic and Computed Tomographic Angiography Guidance for Percutaneous Closure of a Type II (Intermediate) Aortopulmonary Window.

A 4-year-old female was diagnosed with Type II Aortopulmonary window after being seen for a murmur. By utilizing multimodality advanced imaging, including 2D and 3D echo, computed tomography (CTA) with semi-transparent overlay as a road map, we were able to preoperatively plan camera angles and device selection as well as close the defect percutaneously under echocardiography guidance. This report highlights the importance of a multimodality imaging approach to interventional procedures.

Is repeated childhood fracture related to areal bone density or body composition in middle age?

Unlabelled: Childhood fracture is common, but whether it predicts adult fracture is not clear. Repeat childhood fracture was associated with adult (≤ 45 years) fracture, and in women, lower areal bone density was associated with repeat childhood fracture. Identifying fracture-prone children can modify adult fracture risk management.
