Introduction And Objectives: Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) improves oxygenation in neonates with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and restrictive foramen ovale. Currently, there is a global shortage of dedicated BAS catheters, while new unmarked catheters have recently become available at some European centers. This study aimed to characterize BAS outcomes using the currently available BAS catheters in Europe.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 180 patients who underwent arterial switch operation (ASO) between 2005 and 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: the St Thomas group receiving St Thomas solution and the Celsior® group receiving Celsior® solution.
Objective: To assess the success rate of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) transcatheter closure in preterm infants and to describe the nature of procedural adverse events and short-term clinical status.
Study Design: All the preterm infants with PDA transcatheter closure were evaluated retrospectively between July 2019 and March 2023 in a single level III neonatal intensive care unit in France. The procedure was performed in the catheterization laboratory using venous canulation.
Background And Objective: Pediatric cardiomyopathies are clinically heterogeneous heart muscle disorders associated with significant morbidity and mortality for which substantial evidence for a genetic contribution was previously reported. We present a detailed molecular investigation of a cohort of 231 patients presenting with primary cardiomyopathy below the age of 18 years.
Methods: Cases with pediatric cardiomyopathies were analyzed using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow based on a virtual panel including 57 cardiomyopathy-related genes.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the management of anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery, which can be linked to sudden death in young individuals, especially those with an inter-arterial course.
- - Over a 25-year period, 100 patients were diagnosed, with higher rates of syncope and sudden death among those with an inter-arterial course compared to others (23.4% vs 0%).
- - Surgical repair was performed on 61 patients, all of whom had the inter-arterial course and were asymptomatic after an average follow-up of about 5 years, suggesting that surgical intervention is a viable option even for asymptomatic cases.
Background: Abnormal coronary pattern may complicate coronary transfer during arterial switch operation.
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of echocardiography in assessing the anatomy of coronary arteries in neonates with transposition of the great arteries, and determine impact on outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data in neonates with transposition of the great arteries.
To assess the outcomes of neonates prenatally diagnosed with ventricular asymmetry and not operated on within the neonatal period and to determine the risk factors for left heart obstruction occurrence at follow-up. All neonates with prenatal asymmetry of the ventricles, diagnosed from August 1993 to July 2015, not operated on within the neonatal period, were retrospectively included in the study. Left heart echocardiographic measurements at birth and at last follow-up were collected and compared.

Methods: We reviewed the medical charts and parameters of mineral metabolism assessed on a before/after session basis in the 6 children undergoing chronic oHDF in our centre.
