Understanding the Mechanisms of Main Bronchial Compression in Patients with Intracardiac Anomalies.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Department of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery, Kanazawa Medical University, Ishikawaken, Japan.
Background: The study focuses on vascular compression of the main bronchus in the aortopulmonary space, examining potential contributors within the same axial plane. Its goal is to uncover mechanisms of bronchial compression in patients with intracardiac anomalies and review surgical outcomes, aiming to enhance future results.
Methods: The morphology and topology of structures within the axial plane of the aortopulmonary space were objectively analyzed, including the sternum, ascending aorta, heart, pulmonary artery, descending aorta, and other relevant elements.
Long-term Outcome After Repair of Transposition of the Great Arteries With Aortic Arch Obstruction.
Ann Thorac Surg
February 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, Tampa, Florida.
Background: This study compares the long-term outcomes of patients after repair of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with and without aortic arch obstruction (AAO).
Methods: This is a single-institution, retrospective study between October 2004 and February 2023. Patients who underwent arterial switch operation and aortic arch repair (ASO-AAR group) with patch augmentation were compared with those without AAO (ASO group).
Common Arterial Trunk Repair at the Red Cross War Memorial Hospital, Cape Town: A 20-Year Review of Surgical Practice and Outcomes.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
November 2024
Division of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa.
Background: This study describes the 20-year experience of managing common arterial trunk (CAT) in a low-and-middle-income country and compares the early and medium-term outcomes following the transition from conduit to nonconduit repair at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital.
Methods: Single-center retrospective study of consecutive patients aged less than 18 years who underwent repair of CAT from January 1999 to December 2018 at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital. Patients with interrupted aortic arch or previous pulmonary artery banding were excluded.
Device closure of residual aortopulmonary window using Konar-MF occluder device: an attractive new option.
Cardiol Young
July 2024
The Children's Hospital, University of Child Health Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan.
We report a case of a residual aortopulmonary window where a new Konar-MF occluder device was used to close the defect. This device has a low profile and conforms to the anatomy of aortopulmonary window very nicely without unnecessary protrusion on either side. This report highlights the advantage of Konar-MF occluder device for closure of such defects.

August 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the 16-year experience with arterial switch operation at Beijing Children's Hospital and to determine early and late mortality and late morbidity, to explore risk factors for late complications and reintervention, and finally to evaluate whether the neoaortic sinotubular junction reconstruction technique reduces late complications of arterial switch operation.
Methods: The clinical data of 185 patients with transposition of the great arteries who underwent arterial switch operation in Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2006 to January 2022 and 30 patients who underwent modified arterial switch operation with neoaortic sinotubular junction reconstruction technique in Fuwai Hospital during the same period were retrospectively analysed. Propensity score matching was also used to match the neoaortic sinotubular junction reconstruction patients in Fuwai Hospital with 30 non-neoaortic sinotubular junction reconstruction patients in Beijing Children's Hospital.
